GAMFRATESI
GamFratesi was established in Copenhagen in 2006 by Danish architect Stine
Gam and her partner, Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. Gam studied at the school of
architecture in Aarhus, Denmark, before training and working as an architect in both
Italy and Tokyo. Fratesi read architecture at universities in Florence and Ferrara and
worked as an architect in Stockholm and Denmark while still studying.
As a pair, they operate in symbiosis, sharing everything across their personal and
professional lives. Gam takes a particular and thoughtful approach to design, while
Fratesi moves more conceptually and energetically. This instinctive and spontaneous
fusion of two ways of working is one of their key strengths. The couple divides their
time between their hometowns of Copenhagen, Denmark and Pesaro, Italy. Their
dual heritage affects the products they design – a combination of Scandinavian
balance and harmony and Italian exuberance and openness.
