DIVAN BED
DIVAN BED
Designed by Michele De Lucchi
Divan Bed, designed by Michele De Lucchi, is anything but an ordinary bed. It is a piece that hides an alluring mystique, a bed that can transform an ordinary bedroom into a wonderland.
The name divan symbolizes not only bed, albeit without a headboard, but it also means beautiful in Bosnian, which this bed truly is It represents a surprising combination of minimalism, refinement, and innovativeness. It is designed in a way that combines the warmth and tactility of wood with softness of cotton.
Its softly curved, fluid headboard gives the wood an unexpected softness and tactility, which the skillfully hand-carved vertical grooves across the whole surface augment even more. The rounded legs of the bed are equally unique and soft.

“For me, as an architect and designer, the real topic of the time is to investigate—and to better understand in a theoretical way—the difference between temporality and eternity, what has to be temporary and what has to be permanent.”
A designer, architect and writer, Michele De Lucchi (born in 1951) is one of the greatest representatives of Italian design of the last few decades.
He is equally known for extraordinary architectural works, artistic installations & designs of iconic products such as the Tolomeo lamp (the world’s most sold lamp of all time, produced by Artemide since 1987) for which Michele De Lucchi won his first of four Compasso d’Oros. Michele won the competitions for the redevelopment of the German railway stations & the renovation of the Deutsche Bank offices.
He has made significant contributions to international installations, art exhibitions and museums such as the Triennale di Milano, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, the Neues Museum in Berlin, the Cini Foundation in Venice, and the Gallerie d’Italia – Piazza Scala, the Museo della Pietà Rondanini and Casa Manzoni in Milan.
Michele De Lucchi also worked on developing the corporate image for companies such as Poste Italiane, Telecom Italia, Hera, Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit.
Many of his works are exhibited in some of the most important design museums in Europe, the USA and Japan, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, which bought a large number of them in 2003.
The number of extraordinary projects, awards and accolades of Michele De Lucchi would require much more space to list than the format of this catalogue permits.
Born in Ferrara, Michele De Lucchi graduated in architecture in Florence and then became an assistant to the Design course held by Adolfo Natalini, one of the leading exponents of radical architecture.
His affinity with the ideas and experimentations of this influential avantgarde movement inspired him to establish the Cavart group, which staged performances somewhere between art and architecture in the stone quarries of Veneto. Between 1976 and 1977, he taught industrial design at the Florence University of the Arts.
Having met Ettore Sottsass in 1979, Michele joined the rebellious Memphis group, while the following year he set up his own business. In those years, he also had important experiences with Centrokappa and Alchimia.
In a short time, De Lucchi joined some of the largest Italian industrial groups at the time, in particular Olivetti, where he headed the design office for 14 years and gained extensive experience in the office world, creating a wide range of furniture, computers and furnishings.
Throughout his long career, De Lucchi has designed objects and furniture for well-known Italian and European companies, such as Artemide, Alias, Unifor, Hermès, Vitra, Poltrona Frau and Alessi.
In the field of information technology, in addition to Olivetti, he has developed experimental projects for Compaq Computers, Philips, Siemens and Vitra, “developing various personal theories on the evolution of the office”.
Zanat CEO, Orhan Nikšić, recounts his first meeting with Michele De Lucchi in his office in Milan in October 2019, when Michele stated that he sees what we do at Zanat as heroic and wants to help us “become even bigger heros.” Working with an extraordinary design genius and architect such as Michele De Luchhi, who also happens to be impassioned with woodwork is a privilege and honor.

WARRANTY
Zanat provides a five-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in standard products (materials and workmanship). Wear, tear and product damages is not covered under this warranty.
The claims will not cover minor checks in wood, which result from relative humidity changes. Cracks in wood that result as a consequence of air humidity outside the above-indicated safe range, discolorations resulting from direct exposure of products to sunlight or otherwise improper use will not be covered under the warranty. Claims from end users must be submitted to the dealer from whom the product was purchased in order to be considered.
CARE
All zanat products can be cleaned with soft dry or damp cotton or other soft cloth. For repairs and reoiling of oil-finished products, please consult our care & maintenance manual button below. Oil-finished dining tables come with a free care & maintenance kit. The kits can also be purchased from zanat.
WOOD
All wood used in Zanat’s products comes from sustainably managed forests or private fruit orchards (walnut and cherry). FSC certificates for forest-originating wood are available upon request. Moreover, in 2021 Zanat undertook a commitment to plant three new trees for every tree we used to produce our products.
Color variations and small healthy knots in wood are indications of material authenticity and cannot be considered a defect. Wood is a hygroscopic material which absorbs and sheds moisture to adopt to the humidity of the environment in which it is placed and it expands or shrinks as a consequence.
To minimize checking and cracking, all Zanat products should be kept indoors (outdoors use is OK if protected from precipitation and direct sunlight) and air humidity should not be less than 40% or more than 70%. Humidity outside this range is not optimal for human health and can result in product damage.
