TEACHERS

With a degree in Industrial Design from Milan Polytechnic, Giovanni Liotta has been involved in Product Design and Industrial Design related to lighting since 2002. From 2002 to 2013 he worked in the Forcolini.Lab studio, collaborating with Carlo Forcolini and Giancarlo Fassina; from 2007 to 2009 he also joined the Thomas Berloffa Design studio, working on international design projects and cultural events. In 2008, he founded Studio Savetheclock. Winner of several Design awards, he combines his professional activity with teaching at various schools in the sector. In 2013 with other colleagues he founded the Italian Lighting Design Group

Founder of the Savetheclock design studio, Claudia Giacomobello graduated in Industrial Design at the Politecnico di Milano. She has been working in Lighting Design since 2005, collaborating with Polliceilluminazione s.r.l.. Her activity is characterised by an incessant interdisciplinary research and by the continuous comparison with different realities, in order to draw important stimuli to develop and specific skills: for this reason her projects range from retail lighting to the lighting of private residences and especially to buildings of our cultural heritage. He has participated in numerous national and international competitions, also winning important prizes. His activity is also accompanied by teaching in various design schools. In 2013, he founded the Italian Lighting Design Group with other colleagues.

 

TEACHERS

After graduating with a Master's degree in Industrial Design from the Politecnico di Milano with a
his thesis on the perception of petty crime in relation to outdoor lighting in urban contexts, he has pursued a professional career as a lighting designer since 2009.
Since the early years of his academic education, he has always cultivated a passion for lighting design.
His working career began in 2011 as a lighting consultant at Osram Spa, an experience that
allowed her to consolidate her technical knowledge and collaborate with leading personalities from the
lighting world on prestigious projects, such as the Vatican libraries and the Palazzo del Cinema in Venice.
In 2015, she joined the C14 Group, an architecture and interior design studio led by the eclectic and brilliant personality of Alexander Bellman. During the years of collaboration, carrying out work for brands of
great prestige such as Illy caffè, Kiton and Msc crociere, has accumulated considerable experience:
from the development of lighting concepts, to lighting analysis, to the presentation of the project through
graphic development and retouching, through to the commercial management of the project itself.
Since 2018, she has been collaborating with the architecture studio Design International, for which she heads the Lighting department. The international and multi-ethnic scope of this working environment has once again changed her approach to the field of lighting, enriching it with new stimuli and allowing her to participate in projects with an international scope, such as the edutainment project in Tunis Garden city, the Haverstock villas in Pasadena or the Ikea business centre in Noida.
Participate in the development of prestigious lighting projects and work closely with the
leading professionals in the sector, were opportunities that allowed you to achieve
maturity and design awareness. Despite this it is still driven today by the same passion and
enthusiasm that initially led her to approach the world of lighting design, a passion that
even now shares with those who are approaching this subject. Since 2017 he has in fact been carrying out
parallel also teaching activities as a lecturer in lighting design at private institutes and
holding Dialux courses for professionals.
