"Risk, beauty, and numerous challenges achieve simplicity."
"1:1 Piero Lissoni Exhibition" focuses on the creativity of architect and designer Piero Lissoni. The exhibition offers a multifaceted view of Lissoni's work—including architecture for private homes, condominiums, hotels, and yachts, as well as interior, industrial, and graphic design—through models, drawings, sketches, prototypes, and videos.
The title "1:1" carries a dual meaning: "full scale" and "face-to-face, one-on-one." We invite you to explore Lissoni's stoically essential and simple designs, born from his philosophy that "risk, beauty, and numerous challenges achieve simplicity."
Piero Lissoni
Born in Brianza, Italy, in 1956. Graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan. In 1986, he established Studio Lissoni with Nicoletta Canesi. He has since collaborated with renowned brands such as Boffi, Living Divani, Porro, and Glas Italia, designing furniture, kitchens, and storage systems. His work spans product design, interiors, graphic and industrial design, as well as the spatial production of commercial facilities like hotels.
