Living Divani

Perfection and harmony in proportions and a feeling of understated luxury, are the company's hallmark.

Living Divani is an Italian company, founded in 1969 from an intuition of Renata Pozzoli and Luigi Bestetti, company that has made its trademark of upholstery. Characterized by perfection and harmony in proportions and a feeling of understated luxury, are the company's hallmark. Since the 1970s, the company has been tracing a precise path, establishing a dialogue with contemporaneity and becoming one of the landmarks of design. Strategic is the collaboration with Piero Lissoni, who since 1988 in the dual role of creative director and designer, orchestrates its unique style.  Moreover, the entry of the second generation, brings an additional breath of femininity and aesthetic sensibility to the company located in the heart of Brianza. Alongside architect Piero Lissoni, designers of international caliber have been involved over the years, who share the design trait and approach with the company. At the same time, the collection is enriched by projects of young talents who have come to the company through a precise work of talent scouting among the new generation of design. More than 50 years after its foundation, with over 60 employees, the presence in Altagamma, and an ever-growing global network, Living Divani is today a Company with a strong international reputation: a brand always consistent with its philosophy of rigor and clean lines, which has succeeded in reaching across the world of design with its own genuine and individual interpretation.

Inoltre ad affiancare l’architetto Piero Lissoni, negli anni è stato sia designer dal calibro internazionale. Infatti questi, con l’azienda condividono il tratto e l’approccio progettuale, così come è stato inserito a collezione progetti di giovani talenti giunti all’azienda attraverso un puntuale lavoro di talent scouting tra le nuove leve del design: visioni differenti che sebbene uniche nelle loro individualità, hanno lo stesso comune denominatore, il tema dell’armonia e della ‘delicatezza’ delle forme, l’elogio alla linearità, la pulizia formale.

Infine Accanto alla zona giorno si sono armoniosamente sviluppate la zona notte e l’outdoor. I letti sono il naturale sviluppo dei divani, forme sobrie e neutrali.
