New proposals and timeless icons @ Living Divani Gallery

Living Divani renews the look of Living Divani Gallery in Milan, weaving together new proposals and timeless icons in a narrative that continues the celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Frog, the armchair designed by Piero Lissoni in 1995 and now a symbol of contemporary design. The exhibition explores the dialogue between memory and innovation, transforming the space into an experience suspended between elegance, poetry, and color. The windows on Corso Monforte become enchanted frames, animated by Leonie Bos’s illustrations from the publication Frog30th, while inside, a fluid path unfolds, alternating between intimate settings and convivial zones. The entrance is marked by the Graft table in natural oak with Ticino chairs, serving as the starting point of a journey that combines sobriety and suggestion. In the bedroom area, the Extrasoft Bed interacts with Halfsquare, Era, Pebble Vanity, and the Raki armchair, while the new Gala family by David Lopez Quincoces and the Kasumi Low Tables amplify the sense of natural elegance. Echoing throughout, a pair of Super Frog armchairs traverse both graphics and real space, linking past and present. On the opposite side, the scene is dominated by Piero Lissoni’s new Echoo System, in dialogue with the Alvea sideboard and the Super Frog armchairs, while a corridor of images leads to the outdoor lightwell, where the Kasumi family joins the Hi Tech collection, creating a relaxed and contemporary atmosphere. On the lower floor, a celebratory platform showcases Frog and Super Frog, symbols of a coherent and refined evolution. From here, a sequence of settings unfolds: the round Graft table with Jam easychairs and the Railway sideboard; the Lorentz sofa in dual configuration, accompanied by the Moon Coffee Tables, Gray, and Oolong; and further, the Sumo sofa with the new Fillet and Galileo mirrors, extending to the Rod System, Balestro 24, and the Raki small armchairs with metal legs, balancing proportions and material continuity. Mirrors, lighting, and fabrics complete the scenography, becoming sensory details that reflect and narrate. With this new installation, the Living Divani Gallery reaffirms itself as a place of storytelling and discovery, where heritage and contemporaneity intertwine, celebrating the brand’s history and evolution in design.
