Living Divani Clan Alta armchair set

Description

Clan by Piero Lissoni for Living Divani is a collection of armchairs available in four distinct versions, each with its own personality. Two feature curved outlines, Alta and Bassa, whilst two present squared shapes, Grande and Piccola. Introduced in 2022, this versatile family conceives elegant answers to diverse seating needs through fine materials and quality details that exemplify Living Divani’s mastery of upholstery.

Design Inspiration & Philosophy

Piero Lissoni approaches the Clan collection with the understanding that, as in any true clan, each member possesses its own distinguishing feature. Alta and Bassa emphasise soft, enveloping lines through their curved silhouettes, creating gentle forms that invite relaxation. Grande and Piccola counter with squared outlines, offering more structured geometry for spaces requiring cleaner lines. This duality within a single family demonstrates Lissoni’s ability to balance formal diversity with coherent design language, ensuring each variant maintains the collection’s essential character whilst serving different spatial and aesthetic requirements.

Construction & Materials

The supporting structure comprises wood and preformed curved plywood with padding in differentiated density polyurethane foam, ensuring comfort that responds to the body. Seat suspension utilises woven elastic straps in coated rubber, providing resilient support that maintains its integrity over time. Padding employs differentiated density polyurethane foam throughout, whilst 42cm by 42cm decorative cushions are filled with goose down for exceptional softness. This combination of engineered precision and natural materials creates seating that balances structural performance with luxurious comfort.

Upholstery & Finishes

The fully removable upholstery is available in leather or fabric, allowing for maintenance and seasonal updates. This choice reflects Living Divani’s commitment to practical luxury, where beautiful materials meet functional considerations. The feet are made of sheet steel, painted with epoxy powders in gunmetal grey or burnished colour, providing stable support whilst contributing subtle metallic accents. Glides in thermoplastic material protect floors whilst ensuring smooth movement when repositioning.

The Four Variants

Alta and Bassa present curved shapes that embrace the body with rounded backrests and flowing lines. These variants suit spaces where softer geometry creates warmth and approach-ability. Grande and Piccola offer squared outlines with more defined edges, providing a counterpoint to curved furniture whilst maintaining exceptional comfort. The availability of four versions ensures the Clan collection adapts to diverse interior contexts, from intimate residential settings to refined contract environments.
