(Ivrea, Italy 1988) is an Italian artist based in Paris, France.
Over the past ten years, she has been developing a drawing and painting practice on different media, from paper to ceramics, including tapestries, a tramway, cities walls and architectures.

She is interested in what is hidden beneath the surface, which she questions like an archaeologist digging the soil or a journalist interviewing passersby. This curiosity and search for the essence and intimate nature of her surroundings has also shaped her graphic practice. In her drawings, her refined lines define compositions where forms are stripped of all attributes other than their outlines. In her paintings, the outlines blur and the subjects remain suspended between dream and reality.

Giada’s work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Europe (France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, the United Kingdom), it covered the tramway that runs through the city of Angers in France in the summer of 2024 as part of the Échappées d’art festival; since the 2025 edition of Un été au Havre, it adorns the surface of the concrete wind shelter built on the seaside following the city’s reconstruction, as well as the walls of the Centro Empresario 3as in Maia, Porto, where Giada created for the 2017 Bienal da Maia a azulejos mural inspired by the female workers of the factory that was once on the site.

Since 2020 Giada also collaborates with the object designer François Bonnot as Bureau Idéal, creating sculptures, imagining spaces and interiors which animate through drawing.

Ongoing collaboration with the object designer François Bonnot

Since 2019
Bureau Idéal

Bureau Idéal plays with objects and spaces, their narratives and decorations, imagining new ways of living, reading and consuming a story on a daily basis.

We live surrounded by objects and spaces which often hide anecdotes that time and usage have contributed to erase or forget. Bureau Idéal brings the stories to life, inviting to read the surfaces as through the pages of a book or the frames of an animation movie.

François Bonnot (designer) and Giada Ganassin (visual artist) met at the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) where they both graduated from a Master in Design.

Since 2020 they experiment and have fun with different building techniques and materials such as clay, wood, alluminium, combining their designing, making and decoration skills and fascinations. The results of their collaboration are unique, ingegnous and poetic objects.
