Trame is a Paris-based modern design studio and curatorial initiative. Established in 2019 by Ismail Tazi, the studio specializes in creating unique furniture, decorative items, and artworks through partnerships that unite international craftspeople with generative digital artists. It merges age-old artisanal methods with generative design techniques.
History
Ismail Tazi founded Trame in 2019.
Design and products
Trame utilizes generative design—forms created through algorithmic processes—to develop tailor-made pieces. The studio programs code to produce intricate patterns and structures, which are then crafted by hand using traditional techniques such as weaving, glassblowing, and woodworking. Collaborations involve artisans and digital creators from Morocco, Italy, and France, who bring generative designs to life.
The studio offers limited-edition series of furniture, textiles, and decorative objects. Each creation emerges from a fusion of digital algorithmic design and handcrafted production.
Projects
In 2024, Trame unveiled a large installation at Art Blocks Marfa Weekend in Texas. This project showcased a Berber-inspired camp alongside generative tapestries created by artists IX Shells, Linda Dounia, and Fingacode, drawing influence from a 2023 research expedition to Morocco.
Trame’s work has been featured at prominent global design exhibitions such as Milan Design Week and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).
