Catifa 46 is a cornerstone of Arper’s identity - an enduring icon that has introduced a new language to the world of design since its debut. Its latest evolutions reflect its ability to continuously adapt to changing needs. Today, as we embrace a more conscious approach to production, Catifa 46 is reinterpreted with a shell made using 100% recycled plastic, sourced from a blend of post-consumer and post-industrial waste. With this new material come a fresh texture and color palette, inspired by sustainable architecture: materials that are exposed, authentic, and naturally textured, adding depth and warmth to the shell. On the back of the shell, hues blend with a unique textured shell echoing the bi-color innovation that originally defined Catifa and adding further character and identity to Catifa (RE) 46. Catifa (RE) 46 is available in eight colours: ivory, anthracite, moorland green, midnight blue, rust, espresso, moon white, and black. The shell pairs with three different bases to suit various needs and environments: four-legged wooden base, four-legged steel base, and sled base, the latter two with optional armrests and suitable for outdoor use. Catifa (RE) 46 is available in a stool version, with two different seat heights, both featuring a sled base. A new BREATHAIR® seat cushion enhances comfort. This elastomeric polyester is elastic, breathable, water-resistant, and fully recyclable. For the first time, it has been precisely shaped, merging softness with the refined aesthetics of its exposed shell.
