>About

Established in 2019 by Federico Panella and headquartered in Milan, Zimmer is an architectural firm specialising in retail and residential interior design.

Our approach to architecture transcends conventional boundaries. We believe that designing entails more than just shaping spaces in a formal and technical sense; it also involves extensive research and a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and economic realities of the site.

We create designs at various scales, from the object to the interior, always with the goal of delivering a product that meets the client's needs and reflects the complexity of the brief. Central to our philosophy is an uninterrupted dialogue with our clients. We place great value on an open and shared process that fosters constant stimulation and collaboration.

In each endeavour, we carefully consider the lived experience of the spaces that we design, characterised by simplicity and subtraction. We immerse you in a tactile universe where the juxtaposition of sharp, precise lines harmoniously blends with the handcrafted details that leave their imprint.

Over the years, we have developed a language and method that can be tailored to suit various contexts. The cities we work in serve as a wellspring of inspiration, with their distinctive urban landscapes, architectural materials, and social customs influencing our creative process. With our expertise in the retail and residential segments, we excel in crafting unique spatial concepts tailored to enhance the shopping and domestic experience at each individual location.

Our dedication to sustainability remains unwavering, as we align the material and economic aspects of our projects with the latest environmental standards.
