Catifa (RE) 46 - Update

Catifa 46 is a timeless icon and a cornerstone of Arper’s identity. Since its debut, it has redefined the language of design with elegance and versatility. With Catifa (RE) 46, the collection undergoes its most significant renewal with a contemporary reinterpretation of materials. A slender, refined edge defines the fluid profile of Catifa (RE) 46. An essential line that accentuates its lightness and balance — a pure expression of a suspended form, open to new possibilities. In 2026, the collection evolves with new bases and the introduction of fully upholstered versions. Versions with a seat pad and front upholstery are presented as a preview. The upholstery is applied without the use of glue: a choice that allows materials to be easily separated at the end of the product's life cycle. Particularly comfortable thanks to the different upholstery solutions, Catifa (RE) 46 also introduces a new softness, visually as well. The shell of Catifa (RE) 46 is available in eight shades: ivory, anthracite, moorland green, midnight blue, rust, espresso, moon white and black. The shell pairs with six bases, allowing it to meet a wide range of needs and adapt to different environments: four-legged wooden base, four-legged metal base, sled base, technical sled base, trestle base (with or without castors), and five-star base on castors. All chair bases, with the exception of the four-legged wooden base, can be configured with optional armrests to provide greater comfort and support. The four-legged steel base and sled base versions are also suitable for outdoor use. To ensure even greater versatility, Catifa (RE) 46 is also available in a stool version, in two different heights (64 cm and 76 cm), both configurable with either a sled base or a swivel trestle base. The collection is completed by a seat cushion — also for outdoor use — made from BREATHAIR®, an elastomeric polyester that is elastic, breathable, and water-resistant, available for both the chair and the stool versions.
