Giovanni Dipilato is a London based creative Product Designer currently enrolled in the Product Design MA programme at the Royal College of Art.
Giovanni’s design is the direct translation of a deep human-centered approach based on Design Thinking’s ethos. His products are characterised by an inclusive usage as he strongly believes in the “Design for All” future reality of the world.
Firstly a Graphic Novelist, then a Jewellery Designer, he has a multidisciplinary background in Fine Arts which still guides his methodology within his industrial design production. These experiences are reflected into Giovanni's methodologies and the final shapes, ergonomy and use of his products.
His latest experiences are focused on the recycling of harmful materials. Through the designing of new circular economies, taking advantages of the material technologies and characteristics to be then introduced into new contexts giving this material new life.
