Leaf

Overview

Leaf is an outdoor seating range by Lievore Altherr Molina. The current article 1819, dated 2025 by Arper, is a stackable chair formed entirely from powder-coated steel rod on a sled base.

Construction

The open steel structure defines the seat and back through repeated linear elements. Arper also documents lounge-chair, chaise-longue and stool versions, with removable upholstered front cushions available across the wider range.

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.
