History, reinterpreted

Curated by Lissoni Associati, Budapest's Dorothea Hotel unites three buildings with a covered garden, showcasing Living Divani designs

Designed by Lissoni Associati, the Dorothea Hotel project in Budapest brings together three adjoining buildings in a single courtyard with a covered garden overlooking Budapest. The interior design reinterprets the historical context in a contemporary key, introducing several Living Divani elements designed by Piero Lissoni.

In the public areas, the Lipp sofas update the capitonné finish, the Confident armchairs, with their rounded and enveloping lines, are proposed in both pure and rattan shell versions, while the Maja D armchairs respond to the increasingly specific needs of the hospitality industry. For outdoor use, the Filo Outdoor sofa and armchair have a tubular steel frame, an Iroko wood shell and soft upholstery to make the most of the view.
