GROOVIDO is a furniture design studio that uses a powerful visual aesthetic to translate creative challenges into distinctive design pieces. The studio’s explorative nature confronts tradition with new cultural influences, materials, colors, and production techniques.
GROOVIDO was co-founded in 2020 by Gianmaria Della Ratta and Giorgio Gasco, both alumni of the Master’s in Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven where they first met.
