TIPSTUDIO is Imma Matera and Tommaso Lucarini, a multidisciplinary creative studio based in Florence and Pietrasanta. The studio is driven by a material research through a more narrative process to investigate and explore nowadays boundaries.
Their works come from the blending of anthropological aspects, conceptual analysis and territories. They seek for a strong feeling of the material to generate sensorial experiences in a continuous intertwining between art, crafts and communication.
Currently TIPSTUDIO works across art direction, creative consultancy, product and collectible design collaborating with several galleries, companies and private clients by creating limited and numbered editions aswell bespoke designs. In 2022 they were selected among Talent on show by Elle Decor during the Milan design week.
