About this product
Architonic ID: 1372245
Year of Launch: 2016
Arper celebrates the enduring potential of the Catifa family taking the bicolor customizations to a new level of contrast and curation. Originally designed in 2004 for contract and big space use, Catifa 46 retains the same slim profile, but, new for 2016, will be available in an updated range of a soft yet complex palette: rosé, petrol, yellow, ivory and turtledove grey. Any combination of these refreshed colors can be paired or contrasted with customizable seat pad, or interpreted as a monochrome statement. Selections can be further amplified or muted by fabric texture, shell finish and colored base options.
Concept
Catifa 46 is the little sister of Catifa 53. Same sleek profile with a crisp, casual efficiency that is designed for contract use and spaces that require a slightly scale. Extremely flexible, in 2016 Catifa 46 has further extended its range of colors, finishes and accessories for customization to accommodate an almost limitless of applications without altering its essential character.
The high transversality of this seat makes it suitable for multiple applications, both indoors and outdoors. Available in chair and stool versions, Catifa 46 offers a wide range of materials, colours and finishes. The shell is made of plastic in one colour, two colours, or 3D curved wood. Upholstered versions include seat cushion, front upholstery, removable and fully upholstered shell (with striped stitching) in fabric, coated fabric, leather. The shells combine with all the bases in the collection for configurations suitable for a wide variety of environments: four-leg and sled (stackable), wooden legs, trestle (with or without casters) and five-spoke on casters. In the chair version, the collection can be configured with optional armrests. The stools are available on a sled or swivel trestle.
