Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni (born July 23, 1956, in Seregno) is an Italian architect, art director and designer.[1] For over thirty years, he has developed projects the world over in the fields of architecture, landscape and interior, as well as in product and graphic design. He is also art director for Alpi, B&B Italia, Boffi, Living Divani, Lema, Lualdi, Porro and Sanlorenzo.[2]

In 1986, Lissoni, alongside Nicoletta Canesi, founded the studio Lissoni & Partners in Milan, Italy, focusing on architecture as well as interior and product design. In 1996, Lissoni Graphx, the agency for visual communication, directed by Piero Lissoni's brother Massimo Lissoni, was added to the company. Graphx specializes in brand identity, including catalogs, advertising campaigns, videos, web design, and packaging. They were in charge of the visual coordination of the Venice International Film Festival, organized by La Biennale di Venezia from 2007 until 2016.[3]

Lissoni Architettura was established in 2013, to take charge of numerous international architectural clients. In 2015, Lissoni Inc. was created in New York, where interior design for the American, Canadian, and Central and South American markets were developed. In 2023, the New York office expanded its services with a new studio dedicated to architecture.[4]
