The F.F.F. Collection

The F.F.F. Family Follows Fiction project was conceived in the early 1990s, and aimed to explore the affective structure of shapes and objects, starting from the idea of reproducing the object creation process followed by children and primitive cultures. The result is a family of playful objects reminiscent of fairytale characters: they offer attractive answers to everyday uses, they suggest mediation through playing, and they are a bridge to the world of the imagination.
