GIacon / Jori

Massimo Giacon (Padua, 1961) is a comic artist and illustrator who divides his time between working as a graphic artist, designer, musician and artist. Marcello Jori (1951) has been primarily a painter since 1979. Together they are responsible for Alessi's Christmas baubles series and now jointly for Le Palle Quadrate, the cube-shaped baubles.
