Claudio Gambardella

Claudio Gambardella, architect, designer and ADI member, was Professor of Industrial Design at the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’.

He is a member of the Scientific Committee of SYMBOLA, Foundation for Italian Qualities, and on his behalf is a member of the Advisory Board of the Doctorate of National Interest in ‘Design for Made in Italy: Identity, Innovation and Sustainability’.

The main line of research, which he has been working on for about 40 years, concerns the valorisation of that design that manages to dialogue with the best forms of local craftsmanship for the development of what he defines as ‘Handmade in Italy’, the name of the ADI Thematic Commission that he founded in 2017 and has been coordinating ever since.
