Welcome to our manufacturing plant in Treviso. The building, located across the street from the historic home of Arper’s headquarters is a kind of atelier nestled in the surrounding countryside.
Ten years of Catifa
Some ideas endure. We find traces of the same thought repeated throughout human record, mimicked across disciplines. And so the thought becomes more than an idea — it becomes a concept, a meme, an archetype.
Technology For The Senses
Experiments in technology are necessary for advancing the process of innovation — going beyond current limits, opening new possibilities. The driving force is the question of what a machine is capable of beyond the human hand.
But this profound question can be a trap.
Saya
Design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2012
Saya is a mark, a gesture, a graphic sign, rendered in wood to finish a space like a signature. Fluid in line, warm in material, its silhouette is bold, striking. The sum is more than the parts: Saya inspires inclusion in diverse environments from home to contract.
Juno
Design by James Irvine, 2012
With Juno, plastic chair has come of age. Cast in a single form, it has fluid lines and a light profile, in silhouette and weight. It enjoys all the benefits of simplicity and uniformity but with a clever twist.

Catifa: five collections, one family
What is the essence of family?
Is it a physical attribute—a similarity in looks, a variation on a visual theme that links its members together? Or is it something deeper? A shared history and outlook that leads to a way of navigating the world that’s recognizably unique?
Gher
Design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2011
Gher is a system of sleek stylish tables with solid wood legs for a warm natural feel. The base, available in four different wood colour finishes, can be combined with a range of tops available in different sizes and shapes to create a versatile stylish look, for both home or contract use.

Design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2011
The new Catifa 70 Soft is designed to offer an experience of pure comfort. The clean lines of the classic Catifa 70 Lounge have now been fitted with three large soft upholstered cushions that – together with the tilt mechanism and the footstool – guarantee maximum comfort.
Leaf Tavolo
Design by Lievore Altherr Molina, 2011
The new Leaf table is inspired by the observation of nature, which is revealed in the shape of the top — similar to the shape of a pebble polished by the water — and in the particularity of the diverse structures displaying an irregular design reminding of the branches of a tree.
