Living divani - Ferrero1947

Living Divani

Perfection and harmony in proportions and understated luxury flavor are the sign of recognition of Living Divani, a family-run company, which has made the padding its trademark. From the early 70s to today, the company traces a precise path, establishes an intense dialogue with modernity and becomes one of the reference points in the design panorama.

Strategic is the collaboration with Piero Lissoni, who since 1988 in the dual role of Art Director and designer, orchestrates its unique style, infusing the company with its unmistakable design figure made of discretion and formal neutrality, lightness and dynamism, with a calibrated design , essential, which combines the clarity of lines and shapes, with ergonomics and comfort.

Over the years, architects Piero Lissoni have been involved with designers of international caliber, who share the trait and the design approach with the company, as well as projects of young talents who have come to the company through a punctual talent scouting work among the new design levers: different visions that although unique in their individuality, have the same common denominator, the theme of harmony and the ‘delicacy’ of the forms, the praise of linearity, formal cleanliness, such as the Family Chair collection by Junya Ishigam.

An articulated offer of sofas, armchairs, beds and accessories was thus created; a gradual creative and productive process, which revolves around the padded system, be it indoor or outdoor, with discrete shapes and volumes, around which stronger-looking accessories are proposed – chairs, armchairs, tables, coffee tables, bookcases, containers and rugs – which adapt and define every environment, from the most essential and rigorous ones to the most eclectic and decorative ones. Among the most iconic models we must certainly mention Extra Wall and Extra Soft, Softwall Bed, but also the Frog armchair, all in their possible variations for indoors and outdoors.

Next to the living area, the sleeping and outdoor areas have harmoniously developed. The beds are the natural development of sofas, also characterized by sober and neutral shapes; these include the Chemise Bed, Extra Soft Bed, Avalon Bed models … For the exterior, on the other hand, dedicated fabrics with a precise and solid touch cover shapes already used for the interior; a double function, which on the one hand emphasizes its versatility, on the other it creates furnishing solutions that allow a greater fusion between interior and exterior.

Living Divani’s proposal is also oriented towards the contract sector where quality, technical performance and customization possibilities make it possible to be present worldwide in different sectors: offices, banks, airports, hotels, waiting areas, museums, restaurants and showroom, always with clear characteristics of sobriety and refinement.

Also by Philippe Starck is the “afè” Chair from 1984, designed for the Costes in Paris, the first of a very long series of successful chairs proposed by the French designer.
