Piero Lissoni
Designer furniture and lights by Piero Lissoni
Italian Piero Lissoni is a well-known designer and architect with a
degree from the Polytechnico of Milan. In 1986 Lissoni founded the
Studio Lissoni. Since then Piero Lissoni has worked with a dense list
of design brands, such as Boffi, Cassina, Kartell, Living Divani and
Flos on a wide diversity of designs of furniture and lighting. Lissonis's
projects are often total designs, i.e. full-scale interiors and
architecture of hotels, offices and showrooms, yachts and private
homes. He's inspired by many different elements but also designers such
as Danish Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm. Piero Lissoni's design
principle is never to design for a specific function or purpose – but
to design for human beings. For Fritz Hansen Piero Lissoni designed
Lissoni Series in 2006 and in the autumn 2008, Alphabet, a new modular
sofa series is introduced.
