...BUT FOR DESIGNERS THERE’S ONE MORE RULE... THERE’S NO
SPACE FOR THE MISUNDERSTOOD!
Fabio Gigli has the art-design genetic as part of himself, because he
is fourth generation of family architects. In particular, his grandfather
transmitted the passion for wood to him, so that already during his
courses at University, Fabio Gigli set down his deep interest in everything
with regard to work environment and its problems.
Graduated in Rome in 1973, Fabio Gigli immediately distinguished
himself and gained the applause and positive critic of prestigious
authorities: soon in 1977 he won the Abet Print prize for the project
realised in laminate called “A coordinate furniture system and internal
partitions for a new way to live the office”. Since 1979, as for Italy
and other countries such as USA and Greece, he has designed office
furniture for Estel (Gold Compass Competition, 1984), Faram, Meco
Kastel, Steelcase-Strafor (two executive systems) and Sato (first Greek
office furniture company).
As years went by, Fabio Gigli has gained more and more experience
and competence and his creative impulse towards interior-design has
developed also in the creation of show-rooms, hotels and expositions
areas in Italy, USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Greece and Russia.
Today he holds the chair of Communication Marketing at the University
of Urbino and he collaborates with the most important Italian specialized
magazines, such as Interni, Habitat Ufficio, Ufficio Stile, Office
Layout.
When someone asks Fabio Gigli about the meaning of “design”, he replies
that it is properly an “artistic manifestation” as well as, for example,
the art of painting, of sculpture and of music.
However, design has to deal with one more rule which states that
there’s no space for the “misunderstood”.
This means that the architect must have technical ability, creativity and
adaptation to the several needs and tastes of the clients; but he has
also to interpret the rapid times of this everchanging modern world.
Thus, while other forms of art can accept the possibility of appreciating
an author at a later date, the designer must necessarily consider the
reality of that particular historical period. And as a general trend, Fabio
Gigli always wants to underline the fact that the world of the office is
changing. While in the past it was mainly considered as a “work table”,
today is well understood that it is also a place where the worker spends
the most part of his day and therefore of his life.
This is why in the latest years, it is necessary to make more pleasant
those hours devoted to the most diversified professional activities.
Fabio Gigli has contributed to Della Rovere success thanks to the
project of model EDISON.
