Piero Lissoni is an Italian architect and designer. In 1986, he founded Lissoni Associati, and his designs became synonymous with turn of the 21st century design. He has designed products for many, many brands, including Alessi, Benetton, Boffi, Cappellini, Cassina, Flos/Antares, Fritz Hansen, Glas Italia, Kartell, Knoll International, Lema, Living Divani, Matteograssi, Poltrona Frau, Porro, Tecno and Thonet.
Recently Pierantonio Bonacina produced some new designs from Mr. Lissoni. Unlike much of his earlier work, the new products focus on natural materials and comfort, rather than the streamlined modernity of his past works. There is an additional focus environmental stability.
An excellent example of this is the Pallet Collection. Comprised of a sofa series, low table, and dining table, the primary material is treated larchwood (a member of the pine family) in a natural finish.

Really clean looking furniture, but wouldn’t be possible to build with actual pallets, mostly because of the long lengths such as in the dining room table. Either way, looks great.
