design and the essentials with

piero lissoni
Founder, Lissoni Associati

1

Tell us about your most recent
project, the Parc Hotel Billia
in Italy.
The project arose from the desire to make
a great mountain hotel that was inspired by
the Valser community in Switzerland and its
architecture, blending local traditions with
elements connected to atmospheres from
afar [4].
Each room has been designed with a
small balcony that appears to extend the
space and with views of the mountains or
down into the valley and the Dora Baltea
river. Wood is everywhere in the rooms: The
parquet flooring is aged oak offset by warm
wool rugs [2]; a sliding panel masks the
view of the bathroom; the backlit headboard
features an arrangement of wood panels [3];
the door concealing the minibar and safe
is of solid larch wood-traditionally used
to produce butter and cheese in the Valle
d'Aosta-decorated with relief carvings.

You just launched new products
at the Milan Furniture Fair in
April. What is your product
design philosophy?
The aesthetic is no different in architecture,
art direction, interior design, or design: It

is one philosophy and the guidelines are
simplicity, elegance, and silence [1, the Lipp
sofa from Lissoni's Living Divani collection].

What is an item you personally
can't live without?
We cannot live anymore without electronic
devices, but the object that I believe is
crucial for mankind's survival is the glass for
a martini cocktail.

You make furniture, lighting,
and accessories, but what's on
your must-have hospitality list?
The espresso coffee cup is a must-have, in

your home or in any hotel. There is a perfect
measure for it. The cup shouldn't be too
small or too big, otherwise the temperature
disperses rapidly and you may drink a cold
coffee.

You're from Italy, have a studio
in New York, and have worked
all over the world. What is one of
your favorite travel spots?
I am always happy to return to New York. It is
a wonderful city and even if I change hotels,
I always prefer to stay downtown.
