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.

The long, constant and important partnership with the British designer Jasper Morrison, which every year creates new projects for the brand with the usual minimal and elegant trait that distinguishes it: the professional and friendship relationship between Jasper Morrison and Giulio Cappellini dates back to many decades ago, when the latter decided to put Jasper Morrison’s thesis project into production and in the catalog: the outdoor and indoor metal armchair with sinuous shapes and poetic name: Thinking man’s Chair.

carl hansen & son

Carl Hansen

Carl Hansen, a Danish company founded in 1908, was one of the first industrial companies to believe in the complicity between craftsmanship and mass production . Now, as ever, producing seats, sofas, bookcases and wooden tables inspired by the vintage design.
Craftsmanship can be a lot of things. To us, it is everything and it has been so ever since 1908 when Carl Hansen founded his company in Odense, Denmark.

Carl Hansen founded his company on a strong belief: outstanding craftsmanship and rational serial production could go hand-in-hand to provide customers with high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. Today, we continue to build on this simple but strong idea. We combine traditional woodworking techniques with the latest technology to produce furniture of lasting value. Most of the furniture we produce today was designed by leading Danish architects back in the 1930s and up to the 1960s, but the design, the vision and the craftsmanship behind every piece of furniture is still as relevant today as it was then. If not even more so today. This is why our dedication to working with the best materials and the best designers has and will always be fundamental to Carl Hansen & Son.

At Carl Hansen & Son, we feel a great responsibility to keep bringing this sustainable idea forward of producing furniture with a long life, made of wood harvested from sustainably managed forests and treated in a way that is as gentle as possible for the environment.
Our skilled craftsmen and -women still work with the same pride and dedication and it this passion that helps us maintain the same high quality in every piece of furniture that leaves our factory in Gelsted.

Behind every piece of furniture lies vision, careful thought and skilled craftsmanship. That’s why we say, that every piece comes with a story. And we hope you’ll enjoy making it a part of yours.
