Story
Nature translated into lines
Arper describes Leaf through references to water-smoothed stones, branches and leaf veins. The imagery is expressed in an open structure rather than a literal motif, giving the chair a delicate outline suited to outdoor use.
A renewed range
The collection page dates Leaf to 2005 and identifies a 2025 update. For the specific article recorded here, the manufacturer prints 2025 beside the design credit. The renewed family adds generous cushions while retaining the powder-coated steel construction of the chair.
