Since 1985, he has been part of the avant-garde movement in Italian design, creating illustrations, objects and environments for the Bolidism group, which he founded. Iosa Ghini designs furniture, collections and objects, and develops art direction for leading Italian and foreign design firms, continually refining a highly recognisable and personal style. Iosa Ghini is now working on projects of architecture and design in Europe and United States. His works can be found in various international museums and private collections.
