Is it important to you to be able to say that everything from G-I
Designs is ‘Made In Italy’ and why?
Design and creativity belong to the world, human beings, and nature.
Therefore, talent cannot be said to have an address. However, as I was born in
Italy, and I design from my Italian office, I create my products in Italy.

In May of this year you were awarded an IDA Honorable mention,
an IDA Bronze prize for the Snake Water Sculpture Project,
and an IDA Silver prize in the Home Interior Products –
three very prestigious awards. Will you be aiming for gold
next time, and if so what would you change in future designs.
Perhaps I should attend a different award! I will definitely take the challenge to
design more, and hopefully then they can be recognized and be awarded the
gold.

Which of the water sculptures would you most like in your home,
and why?
For sure the Snake, it is controversial, difficult, and sexy!
8.
What is your average clientele?
People with no barriers, limitations and without fear of being unique and new!

You say on your website that G-I Designs draws inspiration from art,
poetry and nature. Are there any specific artists and/or poets that
have had a significant impact on you and your designs?
I’m always inspired by a combination of talents, without mentioning specific
names; I enjoyed capturing shapes, form and ideas from every day life. I
attempt to form an organic shape using high tech. Travelling also feeds my
appetite for design.
