Ouzo
Made by Living Divani
Designed by Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni's Ouzo resists easy categorization. Not quite a chair, not quite an armchair, it occupies a deliberate in-between, and that ambiguity is precisely its strength. The silhouette is open and fluid, with proportions generous enough to feel welcoming without ever becoming heavy.
Lissoni, one of Milan's most influential designer-architects, has spent decades working at the intersection of built space and product form. His sensibility favors the quiet gesture over the declarative one, and Ouzo is shaped by that discipline. The piece does not announce itself. It settles into a room, contributing to an atmosphere rather than competing with it.

Who is Piero Lissoni and what is his design philosophy?
Piero Lissoni is a Milan-based architect and designer who has served as creative director for several of Italy's leading design houses. His work is characterized by restraint and formal precision, prioritizing the relationship between an object and the space it inhabits over overt stylistic expression.
Is the Ouzo chair suitable for contract or hospitality projects?
Yes. Its quiet, adaptable silhouette and availability in a wide range of commercial-grade upholstery options make it well suited to hospitality, workplace, and high-end residential contract applications.
What upholstery and finish options are available for the Ouzo?
The Ouzo is made to order and offered across Living Divani's extensive material palette, including a variety of fabrics, leathers, and frame finishes. Specific configurations are best confirmed through a design consultation.
How does the Ouzo chair work across different room settings?
