The wider Catifa seat

Catifa 80 enlarges the familiar Catifa shell into a low, broad lounge format. The 2006 design keeps the family idea of a continuous seat and back while giving the upholstered body a more expansive proportion for lounge and waiting applications.

Two base characters

Arper pairs the shell either with a central four-spoke aluminium structure or a steel sled. The first version can swivel or return after use; the second emphasizes the continuous line of the lower frame. Both preserve the same fully upholstered polyurethane body.
