Corradino Garofalo Italian, b. 1986

Overview

Corradino Garofalo is a designer living and working in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. His practice focuses on the relationship between individuals and society, with a particular interest in exploring the role cultural values play in characterising human relations and interactions within social groups. Garofalo's research treads the thin line between geographical and anthropological contexts, using metaphors and analogies as the foundation of his design framework. His fascination for film, photography, video projections and video installations has led him to a multidisciplinary approach towards design.

 

He is a co-founder of the ‘Samples Lab’, a collective of visual artists active between 2007 and 2011 in the south of Italy. From 2010 to 2011, following the completion of his bachelor, he practised industrial design collaborating with engineers and technicians in Naples and Caserta, South Italy. In 2014, after completing a master’s degree in Social Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, he co-founded the ‘Fictional Collective’, an international body of creative practitioners. He runs ‘Studio Corradino Garofalo’, an interdisciplinary design studio based at Sectie C, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, which he founded in October 2015. Currently, he is a board member of 'Stichting Makia Kala', co-founded in 2019 and operating as a platform for people who have the vision and creative skills to design the organisations of the future and their purpose in society.
