Life is in constant change. We live, work, pause, travel, in fluid and interconnected ways. Spaces are required to silently support us, to make us feel good as we move at our own pace. Each vignette of our stand highlights different scenarios — our Spaces To. These represent diverse ways of inhabiting and interacting with space, in the Arper style: functionality, elegance, color, and warmth.

PAUSIT
Waiting is often seen as a mere necessity - rarely as an opportunity. More than just a waiting bench, Pausit is a space for oneself, designed to transform transitional areas into moments of pause, focus, and renewal. Pausit invites you to slow down, reset, and reconnect - because waiting can be more than just passing time.
