Filippo Bombace
Filippo Bombace was born in Rome, where, after having taken a degree in architecture, he opened his own professional office. In 1990 he founded the Oficina de Arquitectura, a project office operating in the field of architecture and design, fully documented in Italian and international specialized publications, interviews and documentaries.
The long and careful analysis on the expressive possibilities of the materials, on the evocative and ‘compositive’ qualities of the light, the study of the execution techniques and the furniture design, characterize his activity during these last years. His works are published in the most important field headlines. He places his profession side by side with love and practice for other artistic subjects: photography, design and in particular music.
Practice Ideology
The professional activity of these last years, fully documented by Italian and foreign specialized publications, interviews, and films made by networks of the sector and others, is characterized above all by several projects of new building and recovery in the residential, commercial, and hospitality areas; the specific typology of projects has allowed a particular deepening of the expressive possibilities of the materials, of the execution techniques, and, above all, the study of the suggestive and “compositive” qualities of the integrated light with the architecture design.
It also complements the architectural scale with an approach to the dimension of design, understood as the design of furniture components, often characterised by their transformability and integration with light, of elements for the bathroom and kitchen, the design of finishing materials and the search for possible interactions between the worlds of design and music, recognising the same compositional approach in both.
