The price list reads like a mirror. Codes 8801 to 8810 are the Osaka sofa in ten lengths, 70⅞″ to 248″; codes 8811 to 8820 are the same ten lengths as a bench with no back. Seat height stays at 16½″ on both, so a designer can run a backed section along a wall and switch to a backless one in the middle of the floor, where people sit from either side, without a step in the line.
That pairing is what makes Osaka useful as guest seating in a lobby. A visitor waiting for a meeting wants the back; a group crossing the floor between two doors wants a low island they can perch on for a minute. LaCividina builds both around one reinforced steel frame made for public areas, with flame-retardant foam laid in different densities.
The family also bends: straight and curved modules combine into arcs, rings and S-shapes, and an Outdoor version, its steel cataphoresis-coated, takes the same lengths onto a terrace. For a breakout corner the sofa codes double as lounge seating. La Mercanti writes the sofa and bench codes on two separate lines of the order, checks them against the plan, and ships the composition to the building as one delivery.

LaCividina publishes a minimum back radius of 101⅝″ and a minimum front radius of 70⅞″; the steel plates under the cushions bottom out at 96⅞″ and 67⅜″. Within those figures the bend is drawn to the room rather than picked from two fixed shapes, which is why the plan is checked before the order.
Nine references, grouped by category: Stretchy (B); Trio and Bit (Extra); Mosaic 2 and Uniform Mélange (Maxi); Arda and Regos (Top); Triangle and Gentle 2 (Special). They are listed as selected stretch fabrics, chosen because the cover has to follow a curve, and the manufacturer declares every one of them flame retardant.
Yes, and LaCividina has done it at scale: the sofas built for the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2015 show in Monte Carlo were two-tone, beige and white. A two-color scheme lets a lobby mark the sofa sections and the low island sections in one continuous line.
The product page offers 2D and 3D CAD, BIM/Revit models and families, the image library and an online planner for laying out the curve. La Mercanti forwards the files with the quotation so the composition can be placed in the FF&E model before anything is confirmed.
LaCividina declares a frame reinforced for public area use, with flame-retardant polyurethane foam laid in different densities and seams reinforced with carbon fiber. The base is painted steel, and every code is classified as mostly metal by weight.
Osaka elements are heavy and long. Five checks before the truck is booked, so the pieces reach the lobby floor without a surprise.
Find the longest Osaka piece on the order. The 248″ sofa weighs 505 lb net and 591 lb packed, in a crate of 125 cu ft; that single item sets the vehicle, the crew and the route.
Every Osaka code carries a packed volume on the LaCividina list, from 38.8 cu ft upward. Sum them to size the truck and to know how many trips the goods lift will make.
Compare the longest crate against the lift car and the tightest turn between the dock and the lobby. An Osaka element travels as a steel kit plus cushions, which helps, but the crate is still long.
Osaka is assembled where it stands. Agree a window when the reception floor is clear, and protect the finished surface along the path from the entrance.
La Mercanti writes the net and gross weight of each Osaka element on the transport order and shares it with the building manager before the delivery date is fixed.
