The studio's founding premise is as simple as it is demanding: design should be authored, not assembled. Working from Milan, Nicolau dos Santos and Stephanie Blanchard combine modern manufacturing techniques with traditional Italian craftsmanship, bold material combinations, ironic formal gestures, conceptual depth that rewards close attention.

IAMMI operates across three interconnected dimensions: limited edition objects and unique pieces, spatial installations and site-specific experiences, and art direction for brands and institutions. Each dimension shares the same visual and conceptual language.
