Designer:Federico Peri
Federico Peri was born in Montebelluna (TV), Italy in 1983.
His early years, spent in close proximity to metal production, were the basis of his future design inspirations. After receiving his degree in Interior Design at IED Milan, he moved to Paris thanks to a scholarship to live in an artist's residence.
This period, filled with international influences, gave rise to his professional growth, impassioned by the great masters of design. On returning to Milan, he worked at Vudafieri Saverino Partners, where he specialized in concept and retail design.
In 2011 he started his own Interior Design studio, designing commercial and private spaces, while also collaborating with other companies as a creative consultant. Since April 2014, after a series of custom furniture, he produced a collection to express the spirit of his design philosophy; the fusion of historical and contemporary, by juxtaposing true materials with essential geometries.
Nilufar, an international design gallery based in Milan, represents his limited edition
products, including the lighting collection “Shapes”, nominated in 2016 for the German Design Awards.
Among the candidates as "best emerging designer" at the Milan Furniture Fair 2017 with the collection “Galerie” designed for FontanaArte and nominated for the “rising talent awards” at Maison&Object 2018 edition.
