Living Divani is the art of the sofa, done quietly. Since 1988, designer Piero Lissoni has led the brand's style as art director, building a reputation for understated, beautifully proportioned upholstery: what the brand calls 'silent elegance.'

Alongside Lissoni, Living Divani works with designers including David Lopez Quincoces and Yabu Pushelberg. Now in its second generation, the family business makes furniture designed to anchor a considered living space rather than compete with it.
