Formafantasma named creative directors of 800-year-old apothecary and perfumery

One of the oldest surviving pharmacies in the world, Florence's Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, has appointed Italian design duo Formafantasma as creative directors.

Their new role will see studio founders Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin focus primarily on the company's products.

The studio aims to unravel their hidden histories and inform new launches, while also sharing input across Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's packaging, communication, retail spaces and events.

"Our intention is not to redefine Santa Maria Novella through a new image, but to build from what already exists, understanding what has allowed it to remain relevant since 1221 and...

City Girls lamps are designed to look like outfits casually thrown together

Anonymous London design duo City Girls creates one-off lighting out of reclaimed lace, coat hangers and scale models scavenged from eBay, Facebook Marketplace and the side of the road.

City Girls (stylised as city.girls.xp) is the studio and alias of two unnamed artists, who started making lamps together two years ago after bonding over a shared love of old knickknacks.

The north London duo are making a name for themselves by crafting one-of-a-kind pieces out of everything from discarded sequins to chains and feathers sourced second-hand on the internet or in real life,...

FicTrans Exhibition

We designed the visual identity and communication system for the exhibition "Contemporary Encounters on Mobility at the Borders of Fiction", a FicTrans Project initiative by the University of Granada bringing together researchers and artists from Spain and abroad. The exhibition is structured around four thematic coordinates that address the relationship between creation, technology and critical thinking, as well as the crisis of reality in the post-truth era. The graphic proposal approaches the identity as a system that unfolds according to context. We use these four coordinates as a structure, not only to organise the content, but also to build the visual...

Jungle’s Madrid HQ: Four Floors, Four Moods

MIL Studios takes 2,850 square metres inside the Madnum tower and gives every level its own material, its own light and its own pulse. The result is an office that behaves more like a building of rooms you want to visit.

Most offices are designed once and then copied down the floors like a stack of identical trays. Jungle’s new Madrid headquarters refuses that logic from the lift lobby up. The company occupies four consecutive levels of the Madnum tower, a Lamela Arquitectos building, and MIL Studios has treated each level as its own small country with its own...
