Arper x Van Collection: 100 Poems for the Earth

Join us and Van Collection in Shanghai to enjoy an immersive experience where design, poetry, and sustainability converge.

From May 10 to June 4, discover “100 Poems for the Earth” at the iconic Anfu275 in the Xuhui District, and experience how 29 layers of kraft paper become Catifa Carta chair.

Designed in collaboration with Swedish startup PaperShell, Catifa Carta represents a new era of sustainable and circular design. A first of its kind innovation, PaperShell dramatically reduces Catifa Carta’s impact on the environment by doing what trees do: sequestering carbon dioxide. At the end of its life cycle, the material can be reduced to biochar, successfully retaining the CO2 sequestered during the previous life phases.
