STYLEPARK X ARPER

Arper creates chairs, tables and occasional furniture for living, working and communal areas. The progressive design language of the Italian family business is characterised by the collaboration with international designers and the versatility of essential forms. Relationships between products and spaces, spaces and people, people and their networks are central. The aspects of balance, intuition, family, colour, light and playfulness shape the core concept of Arper.
