Brands

We choose Arper for its carefully considered product development process — from design to production to long-term impact, which elegantly balances function, aesthetics and rigorous quality. Arper was established in 1989, out of a previous, artisanal leather-working business. While maintaining the same high quality, Arper has continued to extend its range, and invest in technological innovation and research into new materials.

The brand also cultivates a long-term partnership with Studio Lievore, Altherr, Molina, which produced the Duna, Masai, Saari, Catifa 53, 46 and 60, Palm, Dizzie, Eolo and Leaf designs. Further designer collaborations have created Jean-Marie Massaud’s Aston collection and Simon Pengelly’s Babar stool.

In 1997 Arper attained ISO 9001 (quality) certification and ISO 14001 (environmental management) in 2006. In 2008 it also implemented an environmental impact plan throughout its production, earning GREENGUARD certification for its entire chair production.
