At Milan Design Week 2025, Living Divani Gallery (Corso Monforte 20, Milan) transforms into a dreamlike celebration of design—centered around the iconic Frog armchair by Piero Lissoni, now turning 30.

The spotlight installation reimagines the gallery as a whimsical meadow, where the Super Frog, a bold new edition with an aluminum frame and textured amphibian-like upholstery, leaps into a world of fantasy. The store windows become theatrical stages, and the atrium bursts with life—an immersive blend of nature, storytelling, and design.

A dedicated screening room reveals a poetic short film narrated by “Olo,” adding depth to Frog’s legacy, while illustrations by Dutch artist Leonie Bos and stories by Giovanna Zoboli explore the armchair’s many imaginative forms.

Further inside, Living Divani unveils its 2025 novelties such as:

• Café stools by Lissoni join Pebble stools by Lanzavecchia+Wai and Etoile tables by Marco Carini. Also featuring the new eco-friendly Noai® surface for a snack bar model.
• The Echoo System sofa by Piero Lissoni and Kasumi armchairs by Mist-o showcase the brand’s signature blend of elegance and comfort.
• Downstairs, three variations of the Frog Lounge greet visitors before leading to two curated environments.

One path presents David Lopez Quincoces’ warm, social setting with the Graft table, Lorentz sofa, and Moon Coffee Tables, all accented by Lissoni’s graceful designs.

The other winds past a winter garden into a serene bedroom concept centered on the Sumo bed, complemented by sleek pieces from Half-squared by Giacomo Moor, Pebble vanity by Lanzavecchia+Wai, and new arrivals like the curvaceous Gala seating by David Lopez Quincoces and Kasumi Low Tables in marble by Mist-o.

Iconic favorites like the Extrasoft sofa make their appearance alongside like the Ticino stool and Aero T trolley by Shibuleru. Vibrant flatweave rugs by Mist-o and Harry Paul add visual rhythm and texture throughout.

The journey concludes in a refined meeting area with the Graft table (square edition) and compact seating by Lissoni—perfect for private conversations.

“Living Divani is a creative lab. The Gallery is our stage—where elegance meets imagination, and a frog becomes a symbol of it all,” says CEO Carola Bestetti.
