Hannes Peer

Hannes Peer (1976-) is a renowned Italian designer and architect originally from South Tyrol. Trained at the Polytechnic University of Milan, he then worked for a few years in Rotterdam at the studio of star architect Rem Koolhaas before returning to Milan to open his own studio in 2009. In the 2010s he began to make a name for himself and gain increasing fame for his distinctive interior design projects in which he demonstrated an uncommon ability to combine traditional elements with more innovative solutions: often infused with a nostalgic touch, Hannes Peer's projects draw heavily from the imagery of the 60s and 70s. His characteristic "revival style" is also reflected in the furniture he designs, initially all custom projects designed specifically for each client or unique pieces proposed by renowned galleries such as the Milanese Nilufar. The approach to design for large series instead arrives in more recent times with the great success of tables and consoles of the Butterfly series designed for Sem – Spotti Edizioni Milano and a fine series of marble tables produced by the Parisian brand La Chance. The definitive consecration as a product designer finally arrives in 2024, when two major brands protagonists of the market such as Minotti and Baxter choose him to present their new flagship collections.
