When he moved to the United States he applied this experience working with manufacturers designing office and school furniture at the Herbert L. Farkas Company in New Jersey and at the same time exploring an artistic career with luminous sculptures, using to full advantage the characteristics of materials like Plexiglas.
Development years[edit]
In 1969 Rossi, in New York, met Seymour Evans one of New York's few lighting designers at that time.[1] Evans after reviewing Rossi's professional qualifications, offered him a leading position in his lighting design firm. At this point, Rossi also began to study and to attend lighting design courses to enhance his qualifications in this new field. Having heard about Rossi's creativity and design capabilities in 1970 Howard Brandston one of the most prominent architectural lighting designers in the United States[2] asked him to join his architectural lighting design firm in New York. At this time that Rossi while directing, among others, the lighting design project for the São Paulo Hilton in Brazil met and worked closely with Brazilian artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. In 1972 Brandston and Rossi decided to open a partnership branch of architectural lighting design in Milan, Italy. In 1975 Rossi was formally accepted as a Corporate Member of the IALD International Association Of Lighting Designers (IALD). During these years Mr. Rossi also taught lighting design at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Lighting design firm[edit]
After moving definitely to Italy, in 1981 Rossi established his own professional firm in Rome, and since then it has produced close to 250 architectural lighting design projects in Italy and abroad.
Rossi, was the first (and still is the only) IALD Italian member and American-trained architectural lighting designer in Italy.
