At Arper, we create chairs, tables, and furnishings for community, work and home. We are motivated by relationships: between ... products and spaces, spaces and people, people and their networks. This human-centered approach comes through in everything we do: in our design sensibility; in our personalized service; in preferring to think locally even as we grow internationally; in adopting organizational and corporate policies based on transparency; and in building a strong and coherent brand identity. It is the deep synthesis of these values that drives our company. A FAMILIAR STORY — We are a fast-growing company founded in 1989: a family business guided by an integrative, human-centered approach. We have grown from a furniture manufacturing business to an international design presence, dramatically increasing our turnover and adding hundreds of new employees to the Arper family. A GLOBAL PRESENCE — We have a global design presence in over 90 countries thanks to an extensive network of dealers, 4 subsidiaries (USA, UK, Japan, UAE), 3 branches (Singapore, Sweden, Belgium), 11 showrooms (Koln 2007, Milan 2011, Monastier 2012, London 2012, Stockholm 2012, Oslo 2013, Amsterdam 2013, Dubai 2014, Chicago 2014, New York 2015, Tokyo 2016) and 2 meeting hubs (Munchen, Berneem). OUR DESIGN APPROACH — We explore design to improve the relationships between people and spaces. We design for people—technology to support and design to comfort. Not technology for technology’s sake, but innovation in its purest form: for beauty and human interaction. Every part of the product development process is carefully considered bringing function, aesthetic, detail together in elegant resolution. A UNIQUE SENSIBILITY — Our design ethos is based on the versatility of essential forms. Our collections are conceived as families, and are linked by a common design DNA that unites everything, by every designer, under a shared vision. read more
