Studied Architecture at the “Kunst Akademie” of Copenhagen and at Polytechnic University of Milan, where he graduated in 1993. He collaborated as an Architect with the BDP Studio of Berlin between 1994 and 1995.
Pierluigi Colombo began developing the idea of multifunctional products and their design in 1996, when he became Creative Director and Designer at Clei s.r.l., the world’s leading brand in transformable furniture, where he was co-owner until 2023. His research encompasses both product design and corporate identities, as well as exhibition stand designs for global and local fairs and showrooms.
Colombo believes that understanding the potential of interior spaces is key and that design should integrate multifunctional solutions to achieve maximum space efficiency.
However, his expertise extends far beyond multifunctionality. With over 25 years of experience, Colombo's portfolio is rich with versatile solutions that cater to diverse cultures and lifestyles, in the fields of interior architecture and product design, as well as exhibition design at major international trade fairs and museums.
His work includes prestigious accolades such as the Interior Innovation Award in 2012 and the Red Dot Design Award in 2013.
Among his notable interior design projects are the extension of a Penthouse in Mariano Comense, a Penthouse in Varazze, the design of the Micro-Unit “LaunchPad” for the Exhibition “Making Room: New Models for Housing New Yorkers” at the Museum of the City of New York in 2013, and the apartment “The Open House” for the show “Making Room, Housing for Changing America” at the National Building Museum of Washington in 2017.
