After completing his studies, specialising in Interior Design, at Milan’s Istituto Europeo di Design, Federico Peri (Montebelluna, 1983) moved to Paris with the aid of a study and residence grant. It was at this time, with its many creative inputs and international cross-fertilisations, that he began his career, enthused by the work of the great Masters of design and building his own expressive code, the outcome of a synergic merging of modern and contemporary languages.
Returning to Milan, in 2011 he founded his own firm, focusing mainly on interior and furniture design and working for design and fashion businesses on concepts carefully developed around each client’s specific identity. Defining and celebrating a theme of understated simplicity, his creations told a story in which all aspects of authenticity and skills inherited from the craft tradition become crucial.
Milan gallery Nilufar, well known on the international circuit, offered limited editions of his products, such as the Shapes collection of lamps, nominated for the German Design Award in 2016.
His Galerie product designed for FontanaArte was shortlisted for the “most promising newcomer designer” category at the Salone del Mobile Award in 2017, and he was nominated as one of the best Italian design talents for the Rising Talent Award at the 2018 edition of Maison&Object.
In 2019 and 2020 AD France listed him as one of the year’s top one hundred designers, while in 2021 he won the Bedding Category at the prestigious Elle Decor International Design Awards (EDIDA) for the Stone product designed for the Baxter brand.
