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.
What Alessi says about Giovannoni:
"A "born again" designer par excellence, bearing a vague
resemblance to a rumpled teddy bear, a man who looks like he might be
anything except a much-acclaimed designer, Stefano conceals one of the
most explosive talents I have ever had the good fortune to come across.
He is not happy that we classify him as "one of the young",
he feels he is destined for the designer hall of fame, and he wants to
have his share of acclaim with my "masters". He'll no
doubt get there, even if a little grizzly and impatient at times."
