TIPSTUDIO, Imma Matera (product designer) and Tommaso Lucarini (designer maker), is an emerging multidisciplinary studio born between Matera and Pietrasanta deals with product design related to craftsmanship. Passionate about whatever they can touch and work with, their research starts from an experimental investigation on the material. In their products they combine art, design and research with a deep narrative and emotional analysis. A dialogue between the uniqueness of craftsmanship and a new expressive language. 

They currently live and work in Florence.
