Fernando Mastrangelo Studio
Description
Fernando Mastrangelo Studio, FM/S, is a place where art, design and architecture blend into one continuous experiment. The studio treats each project as an open question. What happens when you sculpt with sand instead of stone. How far can recycled glass or salt or powdered minerals be pushed before they stop being raw matter and become landscape, furniture or architecture. FM/S exists in that space between disciplines, using materials as a language for ideas about nature, time and the way people move through space. Based in New York, the studio has become known for sculptural furniture, collectible design and immersive installations that feel both monumental and intimate. Tables rise like eroded cliffs, mirrors read as horizons, seating pieces appear carved from glacial formations. At the same time, the work invites touch and use. A gallery piece can become a living room anchor, a museum scale installation can turn into a prototype for future interiors. FM/S does not separate art object from functional object, it lets them inform each other. Experimentation without boundaries at FM/S is not a slogan, it is a daily practice. The team tests pigments inside layers of sand, studies how light slides across granular surfaces, learns how reclaimed materials can hold structure while still feeling fragile or atmospheric. Projects such as immersive tiny dwellings and experiential rooms show how this material research translates into architecture, proving that sustainable thinking and sensual space can live together in a single environment. Collectors, curators, brands and architects come to Fernando Mastrangelo Studio when they want to move beyond familiar finishes and predictable forms. Collaborations have included limited edition collections, one of a kind commissions and spatial concepts that transform exhibitions, retail environments and private residences into quiet, contemplative landscapes. Each collaboration begins with a conversation about place, emotion and narrative rather than style alone. The digital presence of FM/S extends this world for a global audience. Visitors can explore collections, watch process videos, study details of texture and form and understand how each series connects back to larger themes like climate, geology and memory. Search friendly storytelling around terms such as collectible design, sculptural furniture and experimental interiors helps new audiences discover the studio while staying true to its voice. The result is a practice that uses craft, research and digital reach to share a very physical, material vision of what contemporary design can be.
