03/06/2020 - Making a virtue of necessity: our homes have been transformed into offices, creating new scenarios. The dining room becomes an operating station, the library offers space for the working material and lamps illuminate an environment with unexpected functionality, which can offer a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere with refined details. Essential, iconic or sculptural, the Living Divani proposals create new scenarios for the home office.
Slender forms that recur in space, leaving the person his movements at ease. A graphic game gives rhythm to the design of the Notes (Design Massimo Mariani, 2016), which combines a sophisticated marble, wood or glass top with the rigorous metal structure where three thin legs seem to chase each other. The Era Chair (Design David Lopez Quincoces, 2017) is characterized by the slender gunmetal grey painted steel structure and the backrest in calendered steel sheet, in the sign of lightness. Precision and delicacy make the Aero bookshelf (Design Shibuleru, 2016) the ideal complement to this environment: aerodynamic shelves supported as if by magic by a set of fluctuating vertical posts.
The formal simplicity combined with the complexity of construction, the meaning of daily luxury based on aesthetic purity and quality of details, distinguish the Living Divani style. The Brasilia table (Design David Lopez Quincoces, 2015) rejects straight angles, replacing them with a free and sensual curving, inspired by nature, while the Maja D seat (Design Piero Lissoni, 2009), proposed in the variant with long or short dress, is inspired by a contemporary and fluid idea of living.
In the Sailor bookshelf (Design David Lopez Quincoces 2019), the airy pace of the vertical posts, with hexagonal section, contrasts with the tighter rhythm of the slender shelves, created by bringing together two different materials in a “chiaroscuro” play which shows a refined wood craftsmanship skill.
The same passion for details can be found in the Materica table lamp (Design Leonardo Talarico, 2019), in which a mildly shaped steel tube joins two spheres, the marble base and the body light in glass, emphasizing the line of the curve and enhancing the refined simplicity of the whole.
Beauty as a fundamental ingredient of every project: strong but non-intrusive presence, the Wedge table (Design Arik Levy, 2009) offers a set of sculptural symmetries, inspired by the lightness of origami. Stolen from fashion, the Grace collection of chairs (Design Giopato&Coombes, 2013) is characterized by a frame to be covered in different ways, a sort of outfit to choose according to your taste.
The Bukva bookshelf (Design Viktor Vasilev, 2011) appears as a work of art fixed on the wall, composed by a series of squared, detached and tangent elements. Multipurpose home sculpture, the "Light with a table" lamp (Design Keiji Takeuchi, 2019) is the result of a skilful construction: a base to provide stability, a metal tube that curves and ends in a source of light, with touch-switch on, and a table connected to it, equipped with wireless charging technology.
