ABOUT
IAMMI is a Milan-based creative duo founded in 2020 by Portuguese designer Nicolau dos Santos and French-Italian art director Stephanie Blanchard. Together, they explore the dynamic interplay between classic and contemporary design, crafting thought-provoking designs that challenge conventions through bold and unexpected combinations.
With a focus on intuition and deep listening, Nicolau and Stephanie undertake extensive research and experimentation, developing pieces that resonates emotionally and inspires reflection. Their motto, “where timeless ideas find their home,” reflects their commitment to capturing the essence of concepts rather than following fleeting trends.
IAMMI embraces a diverse range of projects, both self-initiated and commissioned, constantly pushing the boundaries of design with innovative techniques and materials. Their work invites to reinvent the possibilities of design through playful subversion and emotional depth.
