GamFratesi was established in Copenhagen in 2006 by Danish
architect Stine Gam (born 1975) and her partner, Italian architect
Enrico Fratesi (born 1978).
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. Their dual heritage affects the
products they design – a combination of Scandinavian balance and
harmony and Italian exuberance and openness.
GamFratesi aims to create furniture and lighting that not only
reflects their persistent exploration of the liminal spaces between
harmony and disharmony, but also illustrates the process and the
techniques they deploy and their experimental approach to their
chosen materials. They reflect upon tradition while also embedding
unique stories, symbols and associations into their work, often
within a minimalist idiom.
