Olimpia Zagnoli / Guest 33 — Design Interview 1Q

Olimpia Zagnoli was born in Reggio Emilia on the leap day in 1984. As a child she moved to Milan, where she currently lives and works. Olimpia studied illustration at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan and graduated in 2007. The following year, after a period of living in New York, she began publishing her illustrations in Italian and international newspapers. Olimpia draws on Futurism, as much as on The Beatles. Her unique style comprises essential images, curvy shapes and saturated colors, inspired equally by art history and pop culture. Throughout the years she has collaborated with The New York Times, Taschen, Vanity Fair, Apartment Magazine, to name a few. She illustrated three children’s books: “The World Belongs To You”, “Mister Horizontal & Miss Vertical” and created her version of the masterpiece “The Wonderful Wizard of OZ”. Her bright and ironic images have acted as a framework for advertisement campaigns for Google, Apple, Barilla, Air France. She has worked with leading fashion brands, among them Fendi, Prada, Hermes and Marella (Max Mara group). Along with commissioned works, Olimpia Zagnoli conducts her personal artistic research where she builds a dialogue between illustration and different artistic media. In particular, she experimented with the relationship between drawing and tridimensionality, as well as video: she crafted a series of design objects, kinetic sculptures and directed music videos. Her work has been showcased in numerous group shows around Italy and Europe, and in solo shows: “Parco Zagnoli” at the Ninasagt gallery in Düsseldorf (2014), “Cinetica Zagnoli Elettrica” at 121+ in Milan (2015), “La Grande Estate” at Mutty gallery in Castiglione delle Stiviere (2016), “How To Eat Spaghetti Like a Lady” at Antonio Colombo Gallery in Milan (2017) and “Cuore di Panna” at HVW8 Gallery in Los Angeles (2018). In 2019 The New Yorker has published her first cover. https://www.olimpiazagnoli.com   / olimpiazagnoli   Olimpia's Interview: 1Q — What made you become a designer?

[28:45] About Design Interview 1Q is a project launched by (Fabio) Mario Rizzotti, an Italian graphic designer, in early March 2020 with the only goal to generate and share useful content. The project, as the name itself explains, consists of interviews regarding the design world, especially the graphic one. Design Interview 1Q started as soon as the lockdown of Mario began in Milan. Mario's passion for design pushed him to write to all his design contacts, inviting them to take part in this project, joining these interviews. The format of the interviews is a simple video-interview, made by Skype, where the interviewees have to answer 10 questions about themselves and the design world. These 10 questions want to invite designers to reflect on the design and, possibly, tell stories and ideas behind their projects; this is the reason why Design Interview is a different format from all the others. It does not want to be a project showcase but, more a discovery platform of designer's philosophies. Starting with the first question (What made you become a designer?) the hope is to know a different aspect of the human being that is interviewed, and not just of the designer that we all know from his website or social media account. In someway Design Interview wants to bring out the figure of the human being before the designer's one and push the audience to reflect on different topics because, first of all, the design is the translation of messages, concepts, and ideas.
