The delta of a river is a landform that forms from deposition of debris carried by water over millennia. More than referring directly to river Tevere which is the main watercourse of Rome, the title of the collection expresses the characteristic mix of architectural styles of the city that as sediments have layered over the centuries.

Delta, as a collection, results as a coherent body of work that more than delivering a portrait of a city, it uses design to draw unexpected links between historical periods in search for timelessness.

As often in their work the designers found knowledge in the past: almost as in a study-trip to the city, Formafantasma visited the numerous Roman archeological venues and museums and accumulated a large numbers of fotos and documents that over the year-long process to design the collection have become the foundation of their work. During this time a clear selection of materials emerged made of marbles, metals, porcelain and wood while the collection is composed by a large number of lights, some vessels a oil lantern, a cabinet and a mirror.
