studio FM milano is a Milan-based graphic design consultancy studio with a recognized international reputation.

Established in 1996, studio FM milano is jointly owned and led by three co-funders: Barbara Forni, Cristiano Bottino and Sergio Menichelli. In 2022 four new young partners joined the team: Domenico Liberti, Francesco Scagliarini, Ilaria Tomat and Libero Corti.

We kept our studio small enough to be able to keep a consistent and controlled high quality over the entire production and are currently a team of 10 designers supported by our studio manager. We collaborate with other creative specialists such as architects, copy-writers, illustrators and digital media experts. Over the years we have received numerous international awards, including the European Design Awards (between 2008 and 2021) honouring our work. Some of the partners currently teach graphic design in several Italian Universities and Private Schools.

We specialize in graphic design and identity, way-finding, packaging, exhibitions and installations, websites and digital experiences and advertising design in diversified areas such as fashion, industrial design, architecture, culture, institutions and industry.

studio FM milano has been invited to exhibit, talk and publish the work around the world, and in 2012 become part of the European Design Leaders, an exclusive group of certified international graphic design producers of the highest quality. 

 

We believe that a successful project can be achieved only with a tight collaboration with our clients, understanding the needs and the objective to deliver a tailor made response.

We take in serious consideration all the stages of the graphic design process from the first brainstorming with our clients to the production, monitoring quality over the entire design line. studio FM milano has been invited to exhibit, talk and publish the work around the world, and in 2012 become part of the European Design Leaders, an exclusive group of certified international graphic design producers of the highest quality.
