Redefining the standards of sustainable design, Catifa Carta embodies Arper's innovation and commitment to the environment. A direct descendant of Catifa 53 , the first chair from the brand to benefit from an environmental product declaration, this new version pushes back the boundaries thanks to the use of PaperShell , a revolutionary material derived from composite wood by-products.

Designed to preserve the iconic bi-curved silhouette that has made Catifa such a success, this version offers a perfect balance between strength, comfort and aesthetics, while avoiding its carbon footprint. PaperShell, the first innovation of its kind in the design industry, mimics the natural cycle of trees by sequestering CO2 throughout its life cycle. At the end of its life, this material can be transformed into biochar, effectively retaining the accumulated carbon dioxide and offering an innovative ecological solution.

Available in coffee, Catifa Carta can be adapted to different environments thanks to its three base options.

Designed with the circular economy in mind, Catifa Carta can be completely dismantled, making it easy to maintain and recycle. Arper is also committed to putting in place take-back solutions to guarantee a responsible end-of-life and further reduce its environmental impact.

With Catifa Carta , Arper transforms a design icon into a sustainable manifesto, where material innovation and timeless aesthetics converge towards a more environmentally friendly future.
