Something wrong?The Italian who drew the shape of motion itself - not just supercars for the few, but the everyday sedans that filled streets across decades. Named Car Designer of the Century in 1999, which tends to settle arguments about who owned the form.

About this person
Born 7 August 1938, Giugiaro built a career translating speed and function into sheet metal, working across both high-performance exotics and mass-market vehicles that people actually drove. The industry named him Car Designer of the Century in 1999; the Automotive Hall of Fame inducted him in 2002. He collected six Compasso d'Oro awards, Italy's highest design honor, including a lifetime achievement recognition in 1984. But his hand didn't stop at car bodies: he designed camera housings for Nikon, racing chronographs for Seiko, the navigation promenade of Porto Santo Stefano in 1983, office furniture for Okamura, and even the 7000-pipe organ inside Lausanne Cathedral in 2003. Somewhere in there he also developed a new pasta shape called Marille, because apparently even noodles needed better lines.
