Forma Rosa Studio

Forma Rosa Studio is a design studio based in Brooklyn, NYC, co-founded by Maria Teresa Castillo and Santiago Brown. Inspired by technology, art, and natural phenomena. Forma Rosa Studio creates limited-edition functional pieces that seek to bring us closer to our natural roots. Their practice is defined by a cultural clash between the handmade and the digitally designed. a relationship that also defines the studio’s aesthetic and its vision. Returning to handcraft from a place of technology, the naturally complex shapes are digitally grown by the pair in NYC and handcrafted by artisans in Peru. a place where Maria calls home. They push the unexpected clash between these concepts to sculpt new ways for them to create form. tactile sensations. and to find a newfound intimacy with their objects.
