The design firm Lievore Altherr Molina was established in 1991 by Alberto Lievore, Jeannette Altherr and Manel Molina in Spain. Known primarily for their furniture, the firm is responsible for many of Arper’s most successful designs including the Catifa series of chairs and the Duna chair and table, both of which are stocked by Aram Store.

Good design is a synthesis of technique, cost, material, function, use, taste and sustainability. That concentration of meanings, associations and possibilities must reside in simple, singular forms. Arper believes the best objects carry a rich, intellectual density in a shape that seems natural and effortless. An object that feels spontaneous while clearly the result of rigour and precision. Creating new forms that are physically and stylistically resilient is hard work, but this is the work that they embrace. Established in 1989 in Treviso and born out of an artisanal leather-working business, Arper has continued to invest in technological innovation and is well-placed in the international market.
