Born in 1981, in Puglia, fascinated by science and music composition from a early age, Giacomo Garziano trained first as a musician then as an architect in Florence and Paris. He founded GG-loop in 2014 in Amsterdam, with the goal to generate novel, organic approaches to design and architecture. His first project, the multi-awarded polyhedral House-Museum The Seed of Time (Altamura, Bari), merging music, science and art, brought the practice to international recognition. The recent Freebooter and Mitosis projects have become global benchmarks of biophilic design. His eclectic approach creates multi-sensory experiences, his objects becoming an organic extension of the user, lifting the boundaries between the human and its surrounding.

Born '76, he attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts. After graduation, he began working as a theatrical set designer and collaborating with various architects. Since 2001 he has been realizing sculptures, art objects and unique design pieces and design projects. The connections between Man and Nature are his favorite topic: he loves interpretating Nature’s dynamics and beauties showing Man’s attitude to alter the original. He learned from Art how an idea can be elegant, which is why he is always looking for pure and synthetic concepts, sometimes imaginary and imaginative. He does not renounce the irony that he considers serious and for this reason his projects appear fun and sometimes the result of a playful interaction.
