The result of a close collaboration between laCividina’s manufacturing excellence and Marcelis’s distinctive vision, Lisse redefines softness through form, precision, and innovation, embodies the values that define our work, now recognised by this prestigious award.

With a single fluid gesture, Lisse by Sabine Marcelis redefines upholstered design, turning sculpted softness into a refined balance of form, comfort, and innovation.

Expanding its vision, laCividina also introduces new “prêt-à-porter” collections—versatile, immediate solutions for the contract and residential world, balancing optimized production with the brand’s signature style and craftsmanship.

Alongside these previews, the new Outdoor Collection: with Osaka Outdoor by Pierre Paulin, laCividina extends its language to open-air, redefining the concepts of conviviality and modularity.

An invitation to experience design as a dialogue between furniture and people, from residential spaces to collective environments.

We look forward to welcoming you to our showroom from April 7 to 13.

laCividina writes a new chapter in its history and that of the Osaka – the famous sofa designed by Pierre Paulin – and does so with the launch of the Outdoor version which also marks the debut of the Friulian company in outdoor furniture.

This version carefully preserves the legacy of the original project – modularity, versatility and an enveloping design that celebrates conviviality – as well as that of the 2013 reissue, sublimating its distinctive features and cleverly reinterpreting them to adapt them to outdoor spaces.

Apper is a sophisticated seating system that brings timeless beauty and comfort to any environment. With its versatile design, it seamlessly adapts to both domestic spaces and public settings, embodying the perfect balance of innovation and familiarity.

A special thanks to Monica Baio for the stunning setup and Carola Merello for the photos.

Last year, the Taco chair, designed by Alessandro Stabile, was officially selected for publication in the ADI DESIGN INDEX. .

Born from a path of experimentation carried out over the years by Alessandro Stabile around the theme of developing three-dimensional forms starting from flat surfaces, the Taco armchair by laCividina is a true hymn to sustainability at 360°: from the materials that compose it to the production processes necessary for its realisation, not forgetting of course its possible future disposal.

A few simple elements ensure that the production steps are reduced to a minimum, resulting in less energy and material expenditure, for a seat that is lightweight and therefore transportable with less CO2 impact. In addition, the complete absence of glues makes Taco completely decomposable into all its components, which can thus be sent to the most correct recycling chain.

An aesthetic choice, for a more sustainable future, now also agreed upon by the most prestigious recognition of the production and design quality of Italian design.

Beyond the storefront at No. 4 Via San Primo in the city center, Milan Design Week brought with it a new urban theater. A pop-up architecture a few steps away from the Giardini di Palestro, Elledecor.it Theatre, a set up put together by the online editorial staff of Elle Decor and Davide Fabio Colaci in which conviviality and information intersected, a real editorial staff engaged in the production of digital content and live reportage of Milano Design Week with talks, debates and interviews with designers and industry personalities. A colorful environment characterized by references to the aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s. A lemon-yellow Osaka fitted perfectly into this context, which like a theatrical scene open to the city hosted designers and people, stories and authoritative voices, emerging talents, but also well-known faces, who told in first person, through videos broadcast on Elle Decor’s digital channels their own Milan Design Week, experienced from time to time in the role of designers, curators, buyers, advisors.

Pierre Paulin’s iconic sinuous sofa, in a brick-red version, also graced one of the rooms of Palazzo Bovara at Fuorisalone 2024 where the exhibition-installation, Material Home, conceived and produced by Elle Decor Italia, was staged. An abstraction of the domestic dimension that falls within the contours of the tangible thanks to a construction of rooms made, essentially, of matter. Investigating to the utmost the possibilities for the use of surfaces, fabrics and coverings, the set-up born from the collaboration with Elisa Ossino Studio, Rossi Bianchi Lighting Design and Studio Antonio Perazzi appears in its totality as an exercise not only of style: proposing unprecedented possibilities for the application of materials, and expanding the radar on the natural compositions that companies in the sector propose, the set up is, in fact, a factory.

Finally, the Osaka also starred at the Salone del Mobile! Walking along the central decumanus, pavilion after pavilion, in the Hearst network’s booth in a cerulean version, the iconic sofa from laCividina found its place, embellishing the editorial spaces with other furniture from the Friulian brand, recreating an environment of relaxation and consultation of the publishing house’s various magazines.

It was a pleasure to receive you and explore our latest trends together.

Profoundly innovative in design, Dorothea is instead traditional in LaCividina’s craftsmanship, capable of generating an orderly and resistant softness; therefore transversal to contract and residential use. In public spaces, the back-to-back configurations create spacious and intelligent seating solutions, while in the private sphere, the armchair or sofa elements sign off any space with personality and authentic comfort.
