[2] In addition to cars, Giugiaro designed camera bodies for Nikon, Navigation promenade of Porto Santo Stefano, in 1983,[3][4] the organ of the Cathedral of Lausanne (composed of about 7000 pipes) in 2003,[5] and developed a new pasta shape, "Marille".

He also designed several watch models for Seiko, mainly racing chronographs,[6] as well as office furniture for Okamura Corporation.

[7] Giugiaro's earliest cars, like the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Coupés, often featured tastefully arched and curving shapes, such as the De Tomaso Mangusta, Iso Grifo, and Maserati Ghibli.

From the late 1960s, Giugiaro's designs became increasingly angular, transitioning via the gentle bends of the 1971 Maserati Bora, and culminating in the straight-lined, "folded paper" era of the 1970s and '80s designs such as the 1974 first VW Golf, the 1976 Lotus Esprit S1, 1978 BMW M1, and the 1981 DMC DeLorean.

During the early 1990s, he went along with the era, and introduced more curvy designs again, with his Lamborghini Calà, Maserati Spyder, Ferrari GG50 and Grundig Space Fidelity.
