Giovanni Botticelli, designer based in Rome.
“I have always been fascinated with the delicate and calibrated relationship between light, colour and shape.
The formal study never disregards these three elements.
The synthesis takes place through the observation point from which I assume that the object will be read, observed or touched. The product is defined from here.
Whether they are produced in series or in edition, industrial or artisanal, light-color-form are the basis of the design ideas, also at the basis of the choice of the project theme.
I fund and confuse formal worlds, processing methods, materials coming from specific production areas even far from each other.
I prefer delicacy that requires an effort of perception and appreciation.”
He studies Product Design at IED, with formative experiences at ENSA Limoges and Abate Zanetti Murano.
He is driven by an attitude to matching materials and technologies, crossing the boundaries of expertise and industrial fields.
