Stine Gam is a Danish architect with a master’s in furniture design. Enrico Fratesi is an Italian architect who graduated with a master’s in industrial design. Gam and Fratesi gained experience as architects in architecture studios in Japan and Scandinavia before establishing their own design studio, which is based in Copenhagen.
GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and an experimental approach to its chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate, they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols, and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.
GamFratesi collaborates with numerous international companies, including Bang & Olufsen, Acqua di Parma, Cappellini, Dedon, De Padova, Gubi, Fritz Hansen, Hermès, Hay, Minotti, Molteni, Louis Poulsen, Lyfa, Porro, Poltrona Frau, Gebruder Thonet Vienna, Kvadrat, etc.
