Studio Luca Guadagnino
Luca Guadagnino (1971-) is one of the most important contemporary Italian directors, nominated for an Oscar in 2017 for his film “Call Me by Your Name”, a great narrator of stories of passion and desire. More recent and less known to the general public is his second occupation, that of interior designer: a story that began almost by chance, when Federico Marchetti – a great digital entrepreneur, founder of the e-commerce Yoox – asked him to furnish the interiors of his villa on Lake Como, fascinated by his peculiar aesthetic vision even though Guadagnino had no previous experience in design. For this first project, Guadagnino availed himself of the collaboration of his friend Giulio Ghirardi, an important interior photographer and architect by training, later joined by other young professionals. Once the villa was completed in 2018, the partnership grew and remained active, taking on other projects for Federico Marchetti and also taking on projects in the retail sector such as the stores of the soap brand Aesop in Rome and London. Studio Luca Guadagnino (SLG) grows to include 12 associated professionals, including Stefano Baisi who, together with Guadagnino, curates one of the most appreciated installations of the Fuorisalone 2023, entitled “Accanto al Fuoco/By the Fire”. Warm and retro atmospheres with an impeccable style are among the trademarks of the studio, which in the same year also has the opportunity to give life to its first creation in the field of product design with Fontana Arte.
