Fabrizio Giugiaro

CEO GFG Style


Born in Turin on March 7th, 1965, Fabrizio continues the artistic journey of his own family
attending a Liceo Artistico (Art School) and later the Architecture Faculty of Turin University.

As a teenager, free from school chores, he follows his father Giorgetto immersing himself
enthusiastically in the magical atmosphere of Italdesign: The Style Centre, the Modelling shop,
the Prototype Construction Workshop.

The complementary nature of this world transmits to him that exhaustive culture of the project
which implies experimentation of new composite structural materials for frames and sub-groups,
engines applied to new source of propulsion, techniques of allocating the mechanical equipment
in the chassis layout, the most innovative safety equipment, driver assistance systems, on board
comfort and infotainment.

In 1991 Fabrizio takes on the responsibility of managing research cars. His creativity expresses
itself in independent projects of experimental vehicles and in the construction and performance
concept of the vehicles to develop at the business Engineering centres. At the same time, he
attends the two years Management Course of the Turin Industrial Union attaining a diploma in
Business Administration.

In July 1995 he is appointed Head of Style and Prototype of Italdesign, supervising a hundred
employees and developing from 30 to 150 projects a year. Since 2004 he has also been in charge
of managing Giugiaro Design which, alongside the parent company, has been developing
exclusively non-automobile design projects since 1981.
In 2010 Italdesign becomes part of the Volkswagen Group. Fabrizio will continue to cover the
same role for 3 years, before taking on the position of style consultant for the Group, reporting
directly to the Style Manager of the Volkswagen Group.

On March 15th, 2012, Fabrizio Giugiaro was awarded with the honorary degree in Architecture
from the Georgian Technical University of Tbilisi (Georgie). Fabrizio Giugiaro contributed to the
growth of Giugiaro Architettura in the world of design and architectural development with a
constant innovation in the services and activities offered.

In 2016, together with his father Giorgetto, he created GFG Style, a new company totally
dedicated to design services for the automotive sector, of which he is still the CEO. Following the
line of work developed in over 50 years of operations in the sector, GFG Styles continues the
process of functional and stylistic methods that characterize the Giugiaro Family.

The design methodology adopted by Fabrizio Giugiaro puts the emphasis on functional elements
combined with comfort. Every creative challenge is taken with a special care of feasibility and
production costs, thanks to the use of the most advanced technologies. Fabrizio is the Chairman
of Giugiaro Architettura, the parent company of GFG Style and GFG Rail, a company entirely
dedicated to design services in the railway industry.
