The Frank&Frank project tells the emotion of the vision of the world through the passion for the design of unique and tailor-made leather urban maps for any type of environment: home, office, hotel, etc.Marcella Molinini and Roberto De Gregorio believe in the charm of cartography and cultivate this mission starting from their twenty years of experience and expertise in the field of fashion and design.Always curious and passionate in reinterpreting city maps as urban creatures, geometries, colors, labyrinths, cultures and spaces as bearers of emotions, opening up new perspectives on the places where we live.City maps laser engraved on leather; the city seen as a geometric work of art where daily life and art meet, making each piece numbered, unique and unrepeatable.Frank&Frank create large installations, art and design projects, furnish hotels, offices and homes.The leathers, engraved with laser technologies, come from all over the world and are not part of the typical industrial circuit of leather goods: it would be far from it, in terms of philosophy and sensibility.With this unique interior design project, they are daily driven by curiosity, passion and the desire to give character and beauty to the environments in which we live.Their showroom is in the heart of Roman Turin and the brand name is inspired by a dream film by one of the most famous Finnish directors.Vegetable tanned leather matures and transforms over time. It is a rare material that embodies the signs of time as an expression of naturalness.It is called "vegetable tanning" due to the use of vegetable tannins, obtained from the trunk and bark of trees. The extraction of these natural substances takes place in such a way as not to damage the wood heritage because it is waste from wood processing.Vegetable tanned leather is biodegradable and hypoallergenic, free from chromium, metals and synthetic chemicals.A vegetable tanned leather is such a natural product that it can be appreciated and recognized for its small signs, viens, for its perfume and for its shades of color. All these characteristics represent the authentic and tangible proof of a high quality product, which acquires value over time.The leathers we use come from animals that have lived and worked with local populations, respecting the life they represented.Like Asian camel skin, which still has insect bites on its surface.The hides proudly show the action that time generates on their surface, a sort of spontaneous ornament, which represents the true charm of our project: the beauty of imperfection.
