ETIQUETTE
The Scandinavian-inspired structure dialogues with outstanding Italian craftsmanship. The Étiquette project, which includes a sofa and pouf, is by the GamFratesi duo. A regular and cohesive matte black steel frame is completed with leather straps and a charcoal-colored ash wood bar. The atypical construction makes it an excellent solution for defining spaces, also thanks to the stunning back view.

Stine Gam, Danish architect with a master in furniture design. Enrico Fratesi Italian architect graduated with a master in industrial design. Gam and Fratesi gained experience as architects in several architecture studio in Japan and Scandinavia before establishing their own design studio. The studio is based in Copenhagen.
GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as 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.
