ByStefano Giovannoni
Trailer: Stefano Giovannoni on how design is an expression of historical events
Make. Change./Recorded 2015
A close reading, kept within reach.
Stefano Giovannoni takes industrial design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Italy in 2015, the conversation is grounded in Stefano's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
The maestro of industrial design draws a parallel between product design and major cultural and economic movements.
