Industrial Design - Stefano Giovannoni

Meet "Eggie", he aids me during the consumption of hard-boiled eggs. "Eggie" came to me by way of England thanks to my lovely girlfriend. The neat green fellow's proper name is Cico and was designed by Stefano Giovannoni. Stefano is an Industrial Designer and Architect from Italy. Giovannoni's work is used all over the world in households that appreciate and enjoy his aesthetic, functional, modern pieces. Alberto Alessi, general manager of Alessi (huge Italian Housewares Design company), comments from a lecture in 2001 (stefanogiovanni.it) that Stefano's work captures "the playful, boldly expressive approach" and "neominimalistic approach that leans toward simplicity and the pursuit of the essential, using a kind of language that is abstract." Giovannoni also teaches and researches in the Florence Faculty of Architecture, at Domus Academy in Milan and at the University del Progetto in Reggio Emilia. Stefano's website is full of work, information, as well as links to purchase the products.
