Giuseppe Maurizio ScutellÃ
Industrial designer, attentive and sensitive to the diverse and significant art and design movements of the last century, combines within his own proposal a dual soul: technical and artistic. Free to use "Form Follows Function" or "Function Follows Form" depending on the theme addressed, they have a significant technical background. For 12 years, in fact, they held the role of Senior Project Tech Designer of die-casting and plastic molds, creating equipment and molds for Kawasaki, Ducati, Mercedes, Bonfiglioli, Sylber, Metalwork, Gaggia, Fini, Prisma, Tronconi, Artemide. For another 14 years, parallel to the role of Research and Development in the home sector with Mepra S.p.A., they began collaborating as a designer for stainless steel and high-tech plastic home products with Pandora Design, United-Pets, Bialea Industrie, Rak Porcelain. With Artemide, they created "Pirce" in 2008 (Good_design 2008, Red Dot Award 2009, IF Design Award 2010) and "Alcatraz" in 2011. They collaborate as a technical/product development consultant with some of the world's major technical lighting groups. Their creative thought can be summarized in these lines: "A lighting fixture has a soul, suggests a story, often a poem without written verses, composed of a syntax of lights and shadows. Light is a luminous sound that captivates, it is wonderfully alive, dynamic, and simultaneously intimate and gentle. Respecting its nature by embracing its languages, trying to offer more keys of interpretation, wherever possible, in the projects I undertake, is my way of approaching its magical essence."
