Giampiero Tagliaferri

Giampiero Tagliaferri weaves a cosmopolitan tapestry of cultural references and artistic touchstones in wide-ranging projects that span the arenas of residential, commercial, and hospitality design. His work gathers strength and inspiration from his two home cities, Milan and Los Angeles, which have exerted a profound influence on his singular aesthetic sensibility. His refined interiors and architecture synthesize the dual nature of classic 20th-century Italian design—radical beauty leavened by restraint—along with the sun-kissed optimism and effortless elegance of pioneering Southern California modernism. The result is a distinctive, emotionally charged design language, meticulously calibrated by the designer to express the individual spirit of each client and the specific geographical and social context of every project he undertakes.

Tagliaferri’s approach is deeply rooted in his passion for extraordinary craftsmanship, fine collectible furnishings, and a holistic vision of design that ennobles the rhythms and rituals of contemporary life. Whether he is creating a home, boutique, restaurant or hotel, his goal remains the same: conjuring a unique sense of place that speaks with equal eloquence to the past, present, and future. Densely researched and narrative-driven, his projects place a premium on multi-sensory experience—beauty in the service of comfort, imagination, and intellectual curiosity. He orchestrates a kaleidoscopic array of materials, textures, colors, artworks, and architectural details to create spaces alive with promise and possibility, spaces that nurture a palpable sense of a life well-lived.

An inveterate collector and world traveler, Tagliaferri served as the creative director for the luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples before embarking on his own design practice. In the space of a few short years he has built a formidable client roster of international tastemakers, tech titans, art mavens, pop stars, and other influential figures shaping contemporary culture. To date, his resume of completed and in-progress projects includes a Venetian palazzo, a Milanese penthouse, an Aspen eatery, and homes in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.
