COSMA FRASCINA

Cosma was born in 1989 in the city of Grottaglie, a narrow minded provincial village in South Italy.
Since his childhood he gets fascinated by abandoned and forgotten places.
After graduating in Design at ISIA in Florence he felt the urge to focus on his own ideas and moved back to his hometown. The lack of tools while working resulted in a pleasant rediscovery of traditional artisanal techniques and natural materials.
He finds his main inspiration in the roughness of nature, particularly in contrast with humans artifacts. Cosma likes not to determinate too much before start creating, but to be as free as possible in the making.
His design is concretized through the voice of his hands, which is inherently imperfect. As a medium to find the pureness of this life he goes by upending traditional notions of beauty and comfort/functionality.
