Piero Lissoni (born 1956) is an Italian architect and designer, known for his contemporary furniture design.
In 1986, he and Nicoletta Canesi founded the interdisciplinary studio Lissoni Associati in Milan, focusing on architecture as well as interior and product design. This was followed in 1996 by the agency for visual communication, directed by Massimo Lissoni, Graph.x, which specialises in brand identity, including catalogues, advertising campaigns, videos, web design and packaging, responsible since 2007 for the visual coordination of the Venice International Film Festival, organized by La Biennale di Venezia.
Lissoni Architettura was established in 2013, to take charge of the numerous international architectural clients. In 2015 Lissoni Inc. was created in New York, where interior design for the American, Canadian and the Central and South American-market are developed. Lissoni Inc. works closely with licensed architects of record on all the USA projects.
Lissoni and his multinational team cover the areas of architecture, interior and product/light design, graphics, art direction and corporate identity. Projects extend globally to include private villas, residential buildings, offices, factories, theatres, restaurants and hotels, yachts.
