Collection Story
Origin
Jean-Marie Massaud's Steeve family begins with the 2015 Steeve system. Arper combines an architectural upholstered volume with a visually light base across freestanding and modular seating.
Design Language
Steeve joins middle sections, terminal pieces and corner elements into straight or turning layouts, alongside independent sofas, armchairs, benches and ottomans. Outer structures may be fully upholstered or exposed in wood, while inner cushions can be coordinated or specified in two colours.
Key Pieces
The original Steeve range covers compact seats and connected configurations. Steeve Lou, added in 2024, brings higher backrests, rounded edges and a T-leg base to the family, with optional end tables and a laptop cushion.
