Pier Luigi Colli (1895–1968) was an Italian designer and decorator based in Turin. He trained in Paris before returning to Italy, where he directed the family business Colli Casa, active from the 1920s through the 1960s. Colli is known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modernist influences, producing furniture, lighting, and decorative objects. His work often incorporated hand-carved wood, wrought iron, and richly detailed veneers, sometimes accented with gilding or glass. Colli’s pieces were frequently commissioned for private residences and luxury interiors in Italy and abroad, reflecting a refined and decorative approach to mid-20th-century Italian design. See less
