Azure – September 2019

086 _ _SEPT 2019

Over the past decade, Living Divani’s

Carola Bestetti has, together with Piero

Lissoni, been talent scouting to expand

the roster of the company’s designers.

Maintaining its long-term focus on clean

silhouettes and restrained palettes, the

firm’s product catalogue now goes well

beyond soft seating to include outdoor,

bedroom and storage pieces. The casual

energy and sophistication that unify

the collections span geographies and

generations. Among the designers

collaborating on the 2019 collection is

Shibuleru, the studio founded by Lukas

Scherrer, whose Aero V shelving system

works for both entranceways and hotel

rooms. Another is Spanish designer David

Lopez Quincoces, whose Greene sofa is

defined by its structured perimeter and

slender legs. Italy–Singapore duo

Lanzavecchia + Wai took inspiration from

organic shapes for the Pebble Low collec-

tion, its second addition to the Living Divani

catalogue. This year, New York designer

Stephen Burks made his Living Divani debut

with Islands, a family of free-standing stor-

age units. And 2019 marks the company’s

first foray into lighting: a collaboration with

young Italian designer Leonardo Talarico,

who contributed the Materica table lamp.
