Sofa Venezia EticaLiving, Blue Fabric and Velvet, Made in Italy
Located in Treviso, Treviso
Eticaliving: A philosophy that becomes matter
The project Eticaliving, a cobranding between Slow+Fashion+Design and VGnewtrend, was created to meet a market need, increasingly felt and shared.
The world of luxury has changed its appearance over the years, moving towards a direction more attentive to the lifestyle than to the status symbols to be exhibited. A natural need for both food, clothing and living, in line with a healthy and ethical style.
The Classic shapes of VG and the know-how of Slow+fashion+design have created a line made not so much by products, but by the realization of a philosophy. This is, in fact, Eticaliving: a concept that has become matter, giving life to the Slow Luxury concept.
"We create products and uphold values that respect ethics and the environment as a way of life."
Luxury today does not follow commercial logic, but is dedicated to the object for a pure passion for creation, for the pleasure of working precious materials using virtuous techniques, to create exclusive objects.
VG’s furniture elements have therefore been reinterpreted through the search for sustainable materials and the use of natural fabrics, handcrafted.
Eticaliving is identified in blue, gold, its essential lines and its uniqueness.
The color Blue is a symbol of tranquility, has the property of generating a sense of relaxation and gives balance to the emotional sphere. Gold is the color of the sun, of purity and opulence, it brings energy and abundance.
The dry lines of the furnishings are wrapped in velvet and jeans, the latter made precious by the skilled hands of local artisans who have created textures with an evocative taste, inspired by Mariano Fortuny and the ancient art of shibori. The uniqueness of the fabrics is the uniqueness of Eticaliving: they have been handcrafted and each element has been decorated with a piece. This may be reproduced, but it will never be identical to another, given its manual production.
The internal structures, of Venetian processing, are in wood, steel, water foam and kapok.
The intention is not to make a pure ecological line, but to create Italian products, worked with professionalism and passion.
Eticaliving is a small collection for the living area: a sofa, two armchairs, two armchairs, two tapestries...

Vintage, New and Antique Settees
Vintage, new and antique settees are a smart and stylish choice for adding more seating to a room.
Settees first appeared in 17th-century Europe. A very famous settee, known as the Knole settee, was actually used by a monarch in South East England to receive visitors. This seating furniture was often part of a set that included matching chairs. While settees were popular in parlors, you could also find similar seating, such as daybeds and chaises longues (both of which derive from the settee, as does the chesterfield), where you might relax with guests in your home.
Today, a settee is still furniture that invites socializing. They’re common in living rooms and other shared areas because they allow you to cozy up to someone and have a conversation with them.
Settees are typically small seats that can fit two or more people, but they aren’t as wide as couches or sofas. A settee is more intimate and offers more sitting room than an armchair. Settees often have a backrest for optimal support and are frequently upholstered.
Are you looking to add more seating to an entertainment room but working with limited space? We promise that your vintage settee will look great next to your coffee table in your main seating area. You can also add a settee to your mudroom so that guests have a comfortable spot to sit down and take off their shoes. If you have a small space in your home that you’re still figuring out how to use, add a settee to turn it into a comfortable reading nook. They work in bedrooms too; a tufted settee designed by Danish modernist Finn Juhl makes perfect sense at the foot of your bed.
Most settees come with an upholstered seat, but you can find variations that aren’t upholstered. There are antique wood settees and benches that will look right at home in a rustic decor.
The backrest is an important consideration when choosing a settee. You can find pieces with low seat backs that look discreet and don’t provide a lot of support. If you want more support, we recommend choosing a settee with a high back.
A settee with a high back can become a statement piece, especially if you choose an item with a unique upholstery print or decorative frame.<a href=https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/settees/style/victorian/ target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Victorian settees are ideal for introducing an air of sophistication to your living room. These pieces often feature frames of walnut or mahogany, a seat upholstered in chintz fabric (Victorians appreciated that the glazed finish made it easy to wipe clean) and sculptural hand-carved cabriole legs.
If you want something that feels more contemporary or will work better with your mid-century modern side tables and lounge chair, consider Space Age settees or mid-century modern versions. In your main seating area, tie the elements together with a large rug. (Find more tips on how to arrange furniture here.)
On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage, new and antique settees from different eras to match any furniture style.
