description

designer


With this new member to add lustre to his family, Stefano Giovannoni once again proves he is a master in the finest rhetorical use of metaphor. He applies it in his playful designs with a virtuosity (and supreme skill in inventing new ways through the unresolved dilemma of Form follows function) which, in soccer-speak, might recall the famous Diego Maradona. In Mandarin, the upturned Chinese cap reveals the functional part of the citrus-fruit squeezer and protects the container from dust when it is not in use.
Giovannoni Stefano
Born in La Spezia in 1954, architect and designer. His explosive talent, able to embody the complex system of "affective codes" in his projects, is winning him the title of best "Super & Popular" designer of the years 2000.
