Refined Style<br />

Alivar’s Minimal Styling Allows Focus<br />

on Practical Functionality<br />

Story by Debra Kronowitz I Photos courtesy of Anima Domus<br />

Truly practical in today’s modern setting, Alivar delivers a collection<br />

that is livable. Featuring the purest and most minimal styling, with<br />

no excessive decorative elements, the focus is on practical functionality.<br />

Materials are mixed and matched easily, enhancing each<br />

object with its own distinctive personality. For example, an accent on the<br />

quilted texture leather used for the seating and on the stainless-steel used<br />

for the supporting frameworks.<br />

Founded in 1984, Alivar blends minimalistic lines with a modern philosophy<br />

that “each element intrinsically reflects the spirit of the home, making a harmonious<br />

whole. The pure lines enhance the quality of the materials used, in<br />

a minimalist yet highly expressive style.”<br />

Inspired by the idea of re-enacting some of the masterpieces of modern<br />

furnishing and design history, Alivar’s collections range from contemporary<br />

dining room tables, including its newest introduction, the Radar table; TV<br />

support elements; bedrooms, including the signature Boss bed; dining support;<br />

living room and lounge seating concepts, including the Haero and<br />

Bahia sofas and sectionals; coffee, console and side-end tables; bookcases;<br />

mirrors; and a host of other collections that define what today is all<br />

about and what tomorrow will bring.<br />

The company is attentive to technological innovation and ongoing research<br />

in the design and architectural spheres. It has, through time, created collections<br />

such as Brilliant furniture and Home project, enhancing its production<br />

range with furnishings of minimalist design expressed in the language of<br />

materials and color.<br />

The Alivar collection is available at Anima Domus. ◆<br />
