Catifa 46 is reinterpreted with a shell made using 100% recycled plastic, sourced from a blend of post-consumer and post-industrial waste. Discover Catifa (RE) 46 and join us in redefining beauty through sustainability!

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.

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.

The Catifa collections share an elegant and refined design while each exhibiting unique characteristics and distinctive features.

Catifa Carta features a re-engineered shell made of PaperShell, a revolutionary new material derived from paper. It retains carbon dioxide captured by trees, significantly reducing the chair's environmental impact. At the end of its life, the material returns to nature as biochar, locking in the CO2.

How can design help to build a more responsible business and a more sustainable future? Find out what we’ve done and where we’re going.

How can materials inspire new ways of living?
By choosing easily recyclable and rapidly renewable materials, and by finding creative ways to repurpose waste, we strive to set a benchmark in sustainable design.

Comprised of 29 layers of paper bonded with natural resin, PaperShell significantly reduces environmental impact by capturing carbon dioxide throughout its lifecycle. With Catifa Carta, we not only minimize our carbon footprint but also embrace the concept of circularity.

Building culture enriches our perspective and affords the opportunity to support our community and the design world at large.

How does design foster dialogue with art and culture? We explore this connection with Giulio Feltrin, Managing Director of Arper Feltrin Foundation, and former resident artists at Villa Filanda Antonini - Priss Niinikoski, Xiao Zhiyu, Davide Ronco.

How can we redefine beauty through circularity? In this episode we explore how the application of PaperShell to Catifa Carta is setting a new standard for circular design in the industry.​​
