Gio Tirotto

Gio Tirotto is an Italian designer based in Fiorenzuola d’Arda, in the province of Piacenza, where his studio is registered at Via Giovanni da Fiorenzuola 35. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 2006 and, after assisting Albino Vescovi and then Diego Grandi, opened Studio Gio Tirotto, subtitled “office for ideas”, in 2010.

Rather than specialising in a single product category, Tirotto builds an artistic language that crosses fields: from industrial product to limited edition, from interiors to temporary set-ups and brand art direction, with clients including IKEA, FENIX, Alcantara, Viabizzuno, Manerba, Seletti, Bormioli Rocco and Secondome Gallery. In 2012 he also founded the collective Padiglioneitalia. He describes a designer as a bridge connecting the idea to the final message.
