Cushions and covers

Seat and back cushions combine compartmented goose down with polyurethane inserts or preformed foam structures. Fabric upholstery is removable with zippers and Velcro, while leather is fixed and supplied without a flounce. The technical drawing records 72 cm width, 70 cm depth and 76 cm height.

Modernity through simple construction

Living Divani introduces Box with three qualities: modernity, charm and simplicity. Its rectangular shell, separate seat and back cushions, and slender chromed supports make those qualities tangible without decorative additions. A fabric version can receive a flounce on request, while the leather version keeps the base and feet visible. The compact footprint reinforces that direct, self-contained character.
