Architect and sound designer, founder of Sound Geometry, Venice

Jacopo Gonzato

An architect and designer with a dual degree from IUAV Venice and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Jacopo Gonzato explores geometry as a vector for sound propagation through his project Sound Geometry. A resident artist at the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan since 2022, he builds solid-wood sound sculptures where geometric form becomes the instrument.

Sound Made Solid

Jacopo Gonzato approaches design the way a physicist approaches resonance, form first, sound second, the two never separable. Trained as an architect between Venice and Santiago, he treats geometry not as decoration but as an instrument: every angle, every convex plane calculated for how it will catch, hold and release vibration into a room.

His research, Sound Geometry, draws on Pythagoras' conviction that musical harmony and architectural proportion answer to the same underlying law. Solid wood polyhedra become resonating chambers; the source of sound stays hidden, so the object itself seems to be the one speaking.

"The geometry of forms is solidified music."

That same logic runs through Paloma, Gonzato's DJ console for Vismara, presented as part of International Design's Cosmic Sound collection. Built around a single glowing pedestal, its angular top houses a full integrated sound system without ever showing it as equipment. The console becomes an instrument in its own right, shaping the room's acoustics as deliberately as it shapes a set.
