frap / ˈfrap / s.m., [Modenese dialect, probably from Latin faber, ‘craftsman’, ‘blacksmith’] – ‘blacksmith’. First of all, it is the regional spelling of the founder’s last name: this outlines the deep connection between Frap Tools and the geographic area surrounding Modena, with its well-established tradition of craftsmanship and design. Moreover, on a more symbolic level, ‘frap’ relates also to the very musician whom our ‘tools’ are made for, which crafts art with modular synthesizers in the same way a blacksmith forges items with crucible and bellows.
