Banco da lavoro 04
Where Artistic Vision Becomes Functional Sculpture in Limited-Edition Mastery
Product Description
Living Divani Banco da Lavoro 04: A singular workstation from "The Uncollected Collection", a limited-edition series designed by Piero Lissoni to honor two landmark moments: Living Divani’s 50th anniversary and the architect’s 30 years as Art Director of the brand. This piece is not just a desk — it is a conceptual statement, where function merges with artistic expression in a powerful dialogue of form and meaning.
Unlike conventional office furniture, the Banco da Lavoro 04 transcends utility through its embodiment of the concept of “double weight” — a balance between physical presence and visual lightness, between material density and organic flow. It challenges the idea that functional objects must be neutral, instead asserting that even the workspace can be a site of imagination and sculptural boldness.
Part of a visionary family defined by expressive design, this workstation features full, sinuous volumes cast in aluminum, finished in vibrant, saturated colors. The monolithic structure flows with fluid precision, creating an impression of movement frozen in time. Its surface is both smooth and dynamic, inviting touch while commanding space.
The cast aluminum construction allows for seamless, uninterrupted forms — achieving structural integrity without sacrificing aesthetic freedom. Each curve and contour is intentional, transforming the act of working into a moment of immersion within art.
As one of only a few pieces in this exclusive collection, the Banco da Lavoro 04 stands as a rare synthesis of craftsmanship, innovation, and personal legacy — an object that does not simply furnish a room but defines it.
