Tipstudio, co-founded by Imma Matera and Tommaso Lucarini, is a Florentine creative duo operating in different fields of design with an experimental approach. She is a product designer and he is a designer maker, they are determined to transform any idea into a narrative and emotional products. Tipstudio deal with design in a continuous investigation on the needs and the relationship that man creates with the objects. Their research is a dialogue about art, design and craft with a deep care of matter, process and details. In their works they investigate a strong material expressiveness to generate sensorial experiences. They are linked to the roots of a territory through a personal and poetic vision. Currently they work with expert artisans, brands and companies to create new productions and limited editions.
Tipstudio believes in the narrative and emotion power of an object.
