About the company
Atelier FM is a furniture design studio established in 2017 by Brazil-born, New York-based designer Fabiana Machado. Atelier FM is comprised of limited collections of made-to-order handcrafted collectible furniture and sculptural objects that in their essence recall the unforgettable glamour of the 1930s Art Deco and 1970s decades, reinvented in a decidedly modern point of view.
Atelier FM executes the construction of its pieces with a philosophy of duality, combining the sensuality of the past with a striking minimalism where sumptuous materials merge together in a geometric structure of elegant harmony. Employing a passion for craftsmanship and attention to details, Atelier FM achieves a simplicity that both entices and relents the human gaze. The effect is a restrained opulence that pays homage to the designer’s most personal iconic influences while exuding a stand-alone appeal and functionality relevant to the times.
