“We are a generation of handymen”

From SID to Fabio Novembre: a talk with Giulio Vescovi

MILANO.  After the interview with Corradio Vecellio, let’s meet again Scuola Italiana Design graduates, trying to discover their working path: Giulio Vescovi’s one arrives to Milan, where he works today in Fabio Novembre’s studio.

---

Giulio Vescovi, SID graduate. When did you attend SID?

I have little memory, I suppose from 2005 to 2008.

What was Scuola Italiana Design for you? What’s your adjective for those three years?

Those years were intensive. Intensive under every point of view: work, emotions, personal relationships. I believe I was lucky to attend the school in those years.

Now you work in Fabio Novembre’s studio: how long have you been there and how did you get there?

I’ve collaborated with Fabio for almost 4 years, I arrived here almost by accident, as in many beautiful experiences. I simply sent my CV and a few hours later they called me.

What did you do exactly? Can you show us something you made?

I’m a handyman. We’re a yielding generation, we must be trained to perform multiple roles: this skill is essential in many small studies.
Specifically, I made graphic, web, interior, design and press office works. As I said, handyman.

What about the designer Fabio Novembre and working with him?

The studio is very uncommon, before being a workplace is a big family, where the line between public and private is very weak.
There are a lot of anecdotes, but it’s better not to tell them.

Is there any product you envy him and wish you designed?

No, for a simple reason: his projects are very personal.
I believe we don’t have to envy for the others’ designs, but definitely we can take inspiration to create something that reflects our personal vision.

And what’s the greatest lesson you’ve learned in these first years as a designer?

To be a designer, to make projects, it doesn’t mean just design.

Finally, a look ahead: you future projects? Is there a specific area in which you want to work?

As I said before, we’re becoming increasingly handymen, we must be able to “evolve”. My “evolution” (it’s such a buzzoword!) would be to open my office with Marco Morelli, another SID graduate and an old friend of mine. This will happen in a very short time. I can anticipate you that the name of the studio is itsallgood and we’re dealing with graphics and web design.
Don’t worry, itsallgood...
