Born in Vicenza, he began his career in the field of Industrial Design in 1990, also working as an art director with prestigious Italian and international companies in the furniture sector. He was commissioned by Assarredo to design the setup and coordinated image for the Italy Pavilion at the International Furniture Fair in Cologne in 1992 and 1993, and also in 1992, the Italian Pavilion at the Interieur fair in Vienna. In 1993, he took part in the Dirattan exhibition in Milan and in 1994 in the "Progetti e Territori" exhibition at the Abitare il Tempo fair in Verona. Some of his products have been exhibited at the MoMA in New York. During the same years, he received the Du Pont award in Cologne, the Young Design award in Milan, and the Casaidea award in Rome. In 2012, he won the Interior Innovation Award in Cologne for the "Bookless" product by Interlübke. In 1999, he founded Studio28 Gino Carollo with the goal of creating a qualified team to support companies in the industry. Product design, combined with engineering and the creation of models and prototypes, proved to be key tools that enabled the studio to achieve concrete results over the years and to establish long-term collaborations. In recent years, Studio28’s industrial design activity has expanded with the addition of new areas of expertise, particularly in the field of architectural design for exhibition spaces, showrooms, and corporate identity.
