Massimo Iosa Ghini

Olivari Designers

Bologna (IT), 1959

Immediately after his studies in architecture in Florence at the university where several radical groups were born, Ghini founds the Bolidism movement in 1985; this explicitly refers to Italian Futurism, American streamlining, and pop culture.

Thanks to his visionary projects, he is immediately successful and designs a collection of Moroso furniture and the Bolidò discotheque in New York (1988).

Today the Iosa Ghini Associati studio, based in Bologna and Milan, works not only on products (for Cassina, Domodinamica, Flou, Frau, Snaidero, Teuco and many others) but also on interior and retail design for major companies: Alitalia, Ferrari, IBM, Poste Italiane, Superga.
