An ongoing construction site.
Formwork is an independent design studio founded by Barbara Virginia Tedeschi (IT) and César Bourgeois (FR), working across visual communication, art direction, and spatial thinking.
We guide projects through their formation. We are drawn to ideas in the making — unstable, unfinished, and full of potential. We work to develop solid foundations, building structures designed to hold and evolve over time. Alongside client work, Formwork operates as a Lab. A space for independent exploration, where ideas can exist outside of immediate application. These experiments generate friction, producing noise that feeds back into commissioned projects.

A website for Roxane Danset, a French stylist based in New York, built around two core pillars: a grid overview and a complete archive, offering both an immediate visual entry point and full access to the work behind it. Homepage images shuffle at every refresh, keeping the first impression never quite the same twice. Typography follows an editorial reference, set to leave room for the images rather than compete with them. The studio handled image editing alongside design and development.
