Scarabeo - 2024

Designer

Interior architect and designer since the 1970s. A natural curiosity for innovation,

material research and technology, profound observation of the surrounding re-

ality enabled her to design for prestigious companies, in completely unrelated

fields. The same traits are now the pivotal elements in the work of the Talocci

Design studio, which specialises in: product design, exhibition design, interior

design, event organisation, integrated communication, art direction. Giovanna

Talocci has received numerous acknowledgments, among them three ADI Design

Index selections, four referrals at the Compasso D’Oro award and four Design Plus

prizes. Alongside her design activities, she also works as cultural events curator

and consultant for various trade exhibitions, anchor woman and guest of televi-

sion programmes on design, and lecturer at universities and design schools. She

has been a member of ADI (Industrial Design Association) since 1979 and of the

ADI National Steering Committee since 2004. In addition, she was a member of

the first Italian Council for Design.

Designer, painter and sculptor, he diversified his activities to include the creation

of artistic works, setting up of temporary architectural works and installations,

and interior furnishing and design. In 2002, he opened his studio – situated in the

Viterbo area – and quite naturally made his way into the sanitary ceramics pro-

duction industry. He designs various collections for companies of the sector and

collaborates with Scarabeo on a stable basis.

Born in Rome on 21st March 1969, she completed her artistic studies by earning

the title of “Master Ceramics Artist” in 1988, after which she began to dedicate

herself to artistic ceramics. Subsequently, in 1990, she earned a Diploma in Ap-

plied Arts from the “Ulderico Midossi” State Institute of Art in Civita Castellana. In

1990 she graduated from the Rome Fine Arts Academy with a degree in Theatre

and Cinema Scenic Design with full marks. She initially embarked on a career in

theatre scenic design and subsequently continued her studies in furnishing and

design issues. She has created interior design projects for both private customers

and retail businesses, while simultaneously collaborating with companies ope-

rating in the bathroom furnishing and crockery sectors for outfitting trade fair

stands. Since 1997 she has been predominantly focusing on the industrial design

sector by collaborating with companies operating in the Civita Castellana indu-

strial scenario.
