One of Italy’s most respected brands, Living Divani is a family-owned furniture manufacturer established more than 50 years ago near Lake Como. Its unique style and design philosophy has shaped the collection with clean lines and relaxed elegance under the artistic direction of Piero Lissoni, who has also created many of the brand's most celebrated pieces.
Looking inside Living Divani's headquarters near Lake Como says everything about the brand. Designed by Piero Lissoni and home to manufacturing and operations, the building expresses the company's spirit and philosophy.
Lightness, clarity of form and perfect proportions are just three of the characteristics also expressed in the brand's furniture. While Living Divani's elegant Milano gallery on Corso Monforte and Visconti di Modrone, one of the busiest corners of Milan and designed by Lissoni, has become the Milanese outpost for their Anzano del Parco headquarters.
To launch the collection in Singapore, Living Divani has collaborated with Space to create 'The Architects' Apartment', an evolving space designed to celebrate the work of architects and designers, showcasing iconic pieces and new collections, and merging design and art.
The first installation features iconic and best-selling pieces from the Living Divani collection, including the Family chair by Junya Ishigami and the Frog chair and Extrasoft sofa by Piero Lissoni. Punctuating the Living Divani edit is a hand-picked selection of pieces from ClassiCon and Glas Italia.

"I conceived a building that was intentionally long, low, and wide, with what I see as ideal proportions."

"For us it must become a window, a place to showcase the essence of Living Divani and its many facets."
