DESIGNING METHOD
Aesthetics, technique, research. These are my keywords for each project, which are always strongly inspired by the client’s personality and context. Each project is unique, and responds to needs and problems in the best possible way.

Luigi Ghirri
The client is consulted and involved throughout the whole process, in a way to be able to understand and decide together.
