Perfect, harmonious proportions and a feeling of understated luxury are the distinguishing features of Living Divani, a family-owned company that has made its trademark of upholstery.
Since the early 1970s, the company has followed a clear path, maintaining an intensive dialogue with the contemporary world and becoming one of the landmarks in the design landscape. Strategic is the alliance with Piero Lissoni who, since 1988 has led the firm’s unique style in his dual role as art director and designer. “When I design, I interact with the company seeking to express at best, with my own language, its necessity”, says the architect who for Living Divani has combined its distinctive style made of discretion and formal neutrality, lightness and dynamism, with a calibrated, essential design, which merge purity of lines and shapes with ergonomics and comfort.
When the second generation joined the Company, with innate capabilities, deep involvement and passion for the design world, carrying on an important tradition facing to the dynamics of a market in constant metamorphosis, brought in a further breath of femininity and aesthetic sensitivity to this Company situated in the heart of the Italian furniture district, the Brianza.
Together with the architect Piero Lissoni, over the years the Company has gradually involved both designers of international caliber, who all share the Company’s style and approach to design, as well as projects of young talents, discovered through a work of talent scouting among the new generation of design: different visions that although in their unique individuality, have the same common denominator, the harmony and the delicacy of forms, praising to the linearity and to formal neatness.
It was thus created a vast and varied offer of sofas, armchairs, beds and complements: a gradual process of creation of a complete living environment, which revolves around the upholstery system, both for indoor or outdoor, with its subtle shapes and proportions, to combine with characterful complements - seats, small armchairs, tables, bookcases, storage unit and carpets - that will suit and define any setting, from the essential and rigorous to the multifarious and eclectic décor.
