Gionata Gatto

Gionata Gatto (PhD) is a designer and researcher in the fields of Multispecies, Speculative, and Participatory design. He graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven’s Master and later obtained a PhD from the University of Loughborough’s School of Design. His work intersects multiple methods and builds on collaborations with scientific disciplines to breed a territory of transdisciplinary synergy. From experimentation on forms, materials and production processes, mediated by the use of emerging technologies, he derives artefacts and installations that perform as perceptual bridges to generate visions about speculative future scenarios. As a designer, he displayed work in galleries and events worldwide, including Triennale di Milano, Galleria Rossana Orlandi, MAXXI, Maison & Objet, Sotheby's and others. Gionata previously taught at WdKA Rotterdam, HkU Utrecht, IED Madrid, and chaired the product design concentration at Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation.
