VALENTINA broke into the imaginary of Diabla to redefine the cushion. New shapes, different uses and infinite possibilities, the versatility of the cushion knows no limits because it adapts to the social habits on trend. With this mission in mind, that of playing with one of the most everyday pieces of our environment, a system of light furniture was born, it is built with the least possible elements and destined to become the most genuine expression of the Diabla style. 

The #design of the collection, conceived by Alejandra Gandía-Blasco, gives back to the cushion its protagonist role: “Historically this element was used as furniture or seat without structure, but over time, it became a purely decorative element. With VALENTINA, I wanted to return to the cushion the importance it had in other times”,says Alejandra. VALENTINA won the Elle Decor EDIDA Spain award and the product #design category in the Ibero-American #design Biennial award at the2019 Matadero Madrid. 

This casual collection of sofas, chaiselongue and side tables rise from the floor thanks to the addition of serrated legs. VALENTINA UP was born in this way. “The technical and ergonomic requirements of these pieces are very different, it was impossible to elevate the entire collection to improve ergonomics. Thus, I added V-shaped leg frames of the same radius as the curves of the original structure to the base of one of them, this funny detail reminds the animal world”,explains the designer. 

The sofa, chaiselongue and lounge chair by VALENTINA UP stay true to their origins—the two fluffy and generous foam cushions made of polyurethane and viscoelastic padding are completely adaptable to the body. The new edition is the answer to a need, improving the ergonomics of the furniture, after elevating its lightweight rod structure, this makes the actions of sitting and getting up much smoother.

Meanwhile, the two VALENTINA UP tables use the same materials as their predecessors: aluminum for the table top welded to the structure made with galvanized steel rod. However, they acquire a more singular and assertive presence thanks to the original legs and the thickness of the solid aluminium sheet that forms the surface. 

During Springtime VALENTINA UP dialogues with the natural beauty of the Island of Bonaire, in the Netherlands Antilles, famous for its white sand beaches and pink water, which owe their unique colors to the coral reefs that surround them. The thin legs of the flamingos that walk along the shore of this Caribbean Island are reminiscent of the fine iron rod that outlines the bases of the renewed #valentinaupcollection.
