Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin originate from Sicily and Veneto—two completely different Italian regions that have an influence their design approach. Trimarchi & Farresin both studied in Florence at ISIA (University of Industrial and Communication Design) and since then have both graduated from the IM Master course at the Design Academy Eindhoven. In 2006 they started working together on communication and illustration projects and currently are focusing on product design, but maintaining a strong iconographical approach.
