Emanuel Gargano

Emanuel Gargano was born in Assisi, Umbria, where he was shaped both creatively and emotionally and where he still resides, despite the many professional experiences that often take him to different parts of the world. After graduating from ISIA Urbino, he moved to London, where he collaborated with architect Claudio Silvestrin, giving concrete form to his vocation for integrating the concepts of “void” and “nothingness” into space, understood as expressive opportunities for design intervention.

His professional life is currently divided between his London studio and his workshop in Assisi, where he studies and develops an artisanal approach to a wide range of materials. It is difficult to confine his multifaceted practice to a single professional field, as his work ranges from architecture to industrial design, from art to the study of light. His oeuvre reveals a deep fascination with the materiality of natural elements, which he uses and shapes in search of their inner essence—perhaps the same process that life itself continues to enact upon him, day after day.
