| 喬凡諾尼生於義大利西北部港市斯培西亞，1978年畢業於佛羅倫斯的建築學院，接著在米蘭生活和工作，直到1979年，他在佛羅倫斯的建築學院進行教學和研究工作，之後，又於1989年任教於Domus Academy。如今，他成為Reggio Emilio的設計大學的教授，是流星設計團體（Bolidist Movement ）以及"The King Kong Production"的發起者之一。 1988年開始Stefano Giovannoni與ALESSI合作，這位被ALESSI喻為最具爆炸性天份的設計師，外形長的像圓滾滾的泰迪熊，他對卡通漫畫、科幻小說、塞璐洛神話，富有想像力的小說有濃厚的興趣，並喜歡探索人類潛意識的欲望。因此，其作品設計風格總帶有戲謔性的幽默，且大受正統派卡通的影響。Stefano並於2000年贏得"Super & Popular"最佳設計師的頭銜。其經典設計包括「魔術兔牙籤架」、「兔子紙巾架」、以及「小木偶面具漏斗」等。他善以圖像式概念的想法來從事設計工作，並帶有一種詩意和諷喻來展現複雜的情感設計，他總是強調：「產品是生活的情感與記憶」，這也替他贏得〝最好的〞及〝超級受歡迎〞的設計師頭銜，且被授予數個國際設計獎，其作品被永久收藏於巴黎龐畢度中心與紐約MoMa現代博物館。 在1985年，他以小人剪紙圖案造形為ALESSI設計的king-kong廚具用品，因推出後大為暢銷而繼續開發為系列性產品，至今已推出超過65種相關性產品，且仍然是ALESSI品牌下之暢銷系列。 從1991年開始，Stefano突破ALESSI 70年來的傳統，開始以彩色塑料進行各式創作，這是他個人非常喜愛的材質，經不斷地實驗，突破了一般塑料的極限，使其作品能不受材料限制更加呈現出遊戲、感性、幽默和繽紛的風格，從西方故事中汲取靈感之bunny兔、皮丘諾到2001年所設計的中國清官娃娃，皆充分展現他對彩色塑料的嫻熟技術，讓他更成為色彩大師的代名詞。 國立故宮博物院與義大利國際知名品牌Alessi簽約合作，由Alessi的國際知名設計師Stefano Givannoni以故宮典藏文物發想設計吉祥物（Mascotte）新象徵圖案。透過此合作方式衍生之東西文化創意藝術作品，會於Alessi世界各地的經銷據點行銷，預計會將國立故宮博物院的創新意念，透過此舉，傳達致全球各地。『Old is New』、『時尚故宮』是此次合作所要表達的重要意念。Link：http://www.alessi.com.tw/  |
