Piero Lissoni
Renowned architect, designer and art director Piero Lissoni is one of the
most revered icons in the realm of contemporary Italian furniture. His
signature minimalist style—clearly rooted in purism; however, defined by
a sophisticated human component—can be found in the most esteemed
public and private spaces worldwide.
In 1986, Lissoni and Nicoletta Canesi founded the interdisciplinary
design and architecture studio Lissoni Associati in Milan. Lissoni and his
multinational team thus comprehensively cover the areas of architecture,
interior and product design, art direction, corporate identity and graphics.
Projects extend globally to include private villas, residential buildings,
offices, factories, theatres, restaurants and hotels, yachts, retail stores,
showrooms, exhibitions, furniture and lighting design.
His architecture and design work is recognized worldwide and has
earned him a series of international awards, including the Good Design
Award, the Red Dot Award and the Compasso d’Oro ADI. Piero Lissoni
is guest lecturer and member of the Advisory Board at the Politecnico
di Milano. Recently completed architectural projects include a boutique
hotel on the shores of Orta Lake, the Roomers Hotel Baden-Baden with
its 130 rooms and spa in Germany (2016), the Conservatorium Hotel in
Amsterdam (2012), the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem (2009), the renovation
of the historic Teatro Nazionale in Milan (2009), the headquarters and
production facilities of Kerakoll Design Lab (2014), Matteograssi (2011),
Glas Italia (2010) and Living Divani (2007) in Italy.
