\u201cIn my work, I designed everything a designer could want: from objects to furniture, from the bathroom to the kitchen, from appliances to electronics, we recently designed electric scooters, wind turbines, and robots to charge electric cars. We have developed\u00a0interior and architectural projects, branding projects and art direction projects.\u00a0What I like best about my work is the possibility of always dealing with different topics.\u00a0Our context is constantly evolving and consequently our customers and the prerequisites of our work\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It was in La Spezia that the talented and emerging artist,\u00a0Stefano Giovannoni<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was born to transform the world of\u00a0interior design.<\/strong>\u00a0Before taking the industry by storm, he proudly invested in his education in order to establish himself as an\u00a0amazing designer.\u00a0To that end, he studied at the University Of Architecture in Florence at the age of 23, where he also taught, and conducted research until 1991. It was in 1984 and 1985 that he collaborated with Ettore Sottsass and Alchimia-Mendini, which were major milestones for the development of his professional journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an industrial designer,\u00a0interior designer, and architect,\u00a0Stefano Giovannoni\u00a0got the opportunity to teach everything he knew at Domus Academy in Milan, SPD Milan, at Universtit\u00e0 del Progetto di Reggio Emilia and at the University of Architecture in Florence and in Genoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most difficult period was when I was just over 30 years old. I had just moved to Milan but I had lost my father and the girlfriend I had been with for a decade had left me. I managed to react with great willpower, and thanks also to Alessandro Mendini who introduced me to Alberto Alessi and to the positive influence of Milan, the city where social lifts still existed, I quickly managed to overcome that period\u201d. Although he has gone through some obstacles, he has been able to overcome them thanks to the mentorship of Alessandro Mendini, Alberto Alessi and of course the magical touch of the city of Milan. It was this city that really improved the\u00a0designer\u2019s life both personal and professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all his ups and downs throughout this personal and professional career,\u00a0Stefano Giovannoni\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>has had a large number of\u00a0projects\u00a0that present themselves through an incredible and\u00a0eccentric concept.<\/strong>\u00a0The social issues that occurred have made him stronger as a designer, as well as more open to new challenges and exciting projects. \u201cFrom 2008, on the one hand, the economic crisis was becoming stronger and stronger, changing relationships with our clients, on the other, I felt the need to open new challenges. The relationship with the companies I had been working with for some decades did not satisfy me anymore and in 2016 I decided to launch my\u00a0inspiring brand<\/strong>: Qeeboo realizing what was my dream for some years\u201d. He firmly states that dreams, hopes, and challenges never end, because we\u2019re always looking for more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his\u00a0design\u00a0career,\u00a0Stefano Giovannoni\u00a0has embraced many projects that have proudly established him as a prestigious\u00a0interior designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"BB_Book2020\"<\/a>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the 90s the East became the most interesting reference point for our work, in the early 2000s I worked a lot with big Japanese companies (NTT Docomo, NEC, and KDDI for mobile phones,\u00a0 and in the following years with the eclipse of the Japanese economy the\u00a0design\u00a0demand moved to Taiwan\u201d. Right now, since he created Qeeboo, the\u00a0interior designer\u00a0claims he has so much going on, that he\u2019s \u201cno longer interested in collaborating with other companies except in terms of art direction or completely\u00a0new and exciting\u00a0technology projects\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the\u00a0top interior designer,\u00a0Korean companies are his favorite type of client, due to their capacity to perfectly demonstrating the idea they want to reflect on their projects. That affirmation comes from a long time of working with many different companies, that have shown different lines of thought and creative process. \u201cDuring my professional career I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many different companies, first of all there is a big difference between Italian companies where the know-how for\u00a0design\u00a0is a consolidated factor and the oriental companies that today need our know-how also if they have difficulty in understanding how to direct the project in the right direction.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \"Maison<\/a>\n\n\n\n
