Piero Lissoni has a wide-ranging practice including product design, graphic design, interior design, architectural and industrial design. Born in 1956 in Italy he studied architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan in collaboration with the University of Barcelona, before founding his own studio in 1984.

The practice’s work is inspired by a sense of rigour and simplicity and is characterised by a regard to detail, coherence and elegance with particular attention to proportion and harmony. His approached to design can be summed up with 'simplicity is actually very complex and full of difficulties.'
