Long sofas usually reach a reception as an addition sum: an end, a middle, another middle, a corner. Lisse is one line on the order. Its 337 cm (132 5/8 in) sit under a single code, and on plan they describe a curve where most waiting sofas draw a straight run. Sabine Marcelis gave LaCividina the design in 2025 as one volume, so there is no seam in the furniture itself, no gap where two units meet, nothing for the eye to count. What a visitor sees from the door is a single long shape lying across the floor.
Specified as reception seating, it is finished the way it is built. LaCividina covers the whole volume in a two-way stretch fabric that keeps stitching to the few seams it cannot do without, and the surface stays as uninterrupted as the outline. That cover is fixed, which makes the cloth chosen at the order the cloth the sofa keeps. People sit at 40 cm (15 3/4 in) from the floor, low enough to feel settled and high enough to stand up from without effort: that last part is our judgement, the figure is the manufacturer’s. In a quieter corner it does the slower job of a lounge sofa.
The rest of the family is short and reads from large to small. First comes the same sofa with its back on the opposite side: left-hand is code 1620, right-hand 1621. Then the medium ottoman, 139 × 58 cm (54 3/4 × 22 7/8 in). Last the small ottoman, 91 × 55 cm (35 7/8 × 21 5/8 in). Both are irregular ovals that get drawn up to the sofa and pushed away again. For the cover, LaCividina names the fabrics it recommends, and a client’s own cloth can be put forward. La Mercanti checks the lift and the width of every door while the order is still a draft.

Yes, and LaCividina lists them under two separate codes: 1620 for the left-hand sofa and 1621 for the right-hand one. The two are mirror images of each other. Which of them a room needs is settled on the floor plan and then confirmed against the drawing on the manufacturer’s data sheet, before anything is ordered.
The price list names eight: Stretchy, Mylla, Trio, Bit, Mosaic 2, Uniform Mélange, Arda and Gentle 2. The 2026 data sheet adds a ninth, Regos. They are the manufacturer’s own suggestions for this shape, and a sensible place to start before looking any further.
Yes. LaCividina’s price list marks Lisse as available in COM, the customer’s own material, so a cloth already specified elsewhere in a project can be proposed here too. The manufacturer sets conditions on the fabric and asks to see it first; La Mercanti passes those conditions on with the quotation.
Solid fir and solid beech. Those are the two timbers LaCividina declares for the structure of the sofa and of the ottomans, and they are the part nobody sees once the upholstery is on. On a specification they belong on the first line of the construction clause.
It does. Next to the downloads for the family, the manufacturer’s website offers Planner, its own configurator, where sofa and ottomans can be tried out on screen ahead of a decision. La Mercanti opens it with the client when the layout is still open to discussion.
Lisse comes with a small and a medium ottoman. Five steps for positioning them beside the sofa, starting from the height all three share and the shape of the ottomans on plan.
The sofa is the fixed point of the arrangement, so it goes down before anything else. The ottomans are positioned around it afterwards, and nothing in the family clips or locks together: they are simply drawn up.
Both ottomans are 40 cm (15 3/4 in) high, exactly the height of the sofa seat. Brought right up to the sofa, an ottoman therefore extends the sitting surface at the same level instead of making a step.
On plan the ottomans are irregular ovals, neither circles nor rectangles. Rotate one a quarter of the way round and it meets the sofa along a different edge, so try more than one position before settling.
The medium ottoman measures 139 × 58 cm (54 3/4 × 22 7/8 in). It needs clear floor along its long side: set it where people can reach it from both flanks, not wedged against a wall.
At 91 × 55 cm (35 7/8 × 21 5/8 in) the small ottoman is the one visitors will pull about. Decide where it starts the day, and accept that by the evening it will be somewhere else.
