Corradino Garofalo

Corradino Garofalo is a designer living and working in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. His practice focuses on the relationship between individuals and society, with a particular interest in exploring the role of cultural values in characterising human relations and interactions within social groups. Garofalo’s research treads the thin line between geographical and anthropological contexts, using metaphors and analogies as the foundation of his design framework. His fascination for cinematography, photography, video projections and video installations has led him to an interdisciplinary approach towards design.

He co-founded the Samples Lab, a collective of visual artists active between 2007 and 2011 in South Italy. From 2010 to 2011, following his bachelor’s degree completion, he practised industrial design while collaborating with engineers and technicians in Naples and Caserta, South Italy. In 2014, after completing a master’s degree in Social Design at Design Academy Eindhoven, he co-founded the Fictional Collective—an international group of creative practitioners. He runs Studio Corradino Garofalo, an interdisciplinary design studio working on contextual research projects, objects, and curation. The studio, founded in October 2015, is based at Sectie-C, Eindhoven. He is part of the content team at Sectie-C, a group of creatives with different expertise assembled to work on curating the cultural program on the premises.
