Insiders know Giorgio Tartaro since the beginning of his career, but “next door” design enthusiasts approach his professional career following his Tv shows. The simplicity he uses to bring this discipline in our homes helped everyone turn some corner of their home in a special corner.
A thesis on Enzo Mari, why a degree in literature and not architecture?
Art oriented Letters, after a short period in the Physics department. A thesis that started from the design process of Mari from art to design as a political project. The choice of his work, indirectly, by a sentence of Argan: design as the twentieth century art.
How did you get to design journalism ?
Collaborating with Mari and studying a number of projects, I met the director of Modo. After many persuasions he accepted me in the newspaper, and from there Domus, Rai as an author and many other collaborations. Twenty years as a freelance , except for a short time with Domus.
Design on Tv, an open door to all…
I had worked as a Tv author, in Rai, for the format Design Lessons (Lezioni di Design). Ugo Gregoretti’s great people oriented lesson showed me a way to talk about projects on Tv. Credit to the editor of Leonardo, who has allowed me to produce almost 2000 episodes in various formats.
What’s in your “pipeline”?
Again the video, web as a platform (archimovie.tv). In addition to communication consulting for various companies, on social as well, video language still remains in my heart, developed with web dynamics. And I continue to make TV for the digital terrestrial networks.
