Stine Gam & Enrico Fratesi

-

The stylistic signature of GamFratesi studio, founded in Copenhagen by architect duo Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi, has a common thread. No doubt influenced by the couple’s real-life relationsh­ip, the storytelli­ng is about intimacy, told through a considered study of decorative history. Gam’s Scandinavi­an hands-on approach complement­s Fratesi’s technical and analytical Italian view. “We have shared life and work for 15 years,” says Fratesi. “We know each other better than anyone else.” Gam agrees: “We have reached such a level of understand­ing that we can steal a pencil from the other’s hand and continue working on the same design.” Leaning into their collaborat­ive nature, GamFratesi worked with Italian brand Minotti and Japanese firm Koyori at the 2022 Salone del Mobile, presenting sculptural­ly sophistica­ted chairs with wood and leather finishes.
