TOMÀ (Paris, 1990) studied economics and fine arts in Milan before completing a Master's in Design Studies at Central Saint Martins, London, in 2014. In 2016, driven by a social design approach, he founded Bikini Art Residency: a community-led production programme for the visual arts, grounded in close collaborations with artists and craftspeople. That sustained engagement with making and materiality laid the foundation for his product design practice, established in 2025. The work is represented by Galleria Rossana Orlandi (Milan) and Anemone (Ljubljana).

His work is sparked by an encounter with otherness that puts his own position in question. Tomà’s creations are often the result of position shifts: a familiar object, material or reference is displaced until it takes on new functions, forms or meanings. He is fascinated by how objects are redefined by their use, and so by the people who use them.

The practice starts from the premise that humanity does not need more objects. The raison d'être of each piece is the conversation it proposes, and it begins in the making itself: each object carries the story of where it was made, with whom, and from what. Construction stays straightforward and durable. Materials are sourced where the piece is made; whenever possible, they are ready-made, adapted or salvaged. Some pieces are only finished when someone takes part. Tomà’s pieces are made to create occasions for people to gather, play, listen and be heard.
