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 unifythe 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 duoLanzavecchia + 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.The Next Wave
