Design Miami/Basel and Formafantasma in Artravel no. 46, September 2012

Marie Le Fort, ARTRAVEL, September 1, 2012

In her roundup of this year's Design Miami/Basel, Marie Le Fort highlights "visionary London gallerist" Libby Sellers' presentation devoted to the 'royal game' of chess. Le Fort also singles out Formafantasma's project 'Craftica' in collaboration with FENDI, noting that the pieces - made from discarded leathers and other vegetal-tanned skins and animal byproducts - are "rustic but nevertheless terribly elegant, placing the hand and the history of materials at the heart of the creative debate".
