Armin Broger, CEO of Arper, discusses the Italian furniture brand's two new chair designs and online catalogue in this captioned video produced for the brand as part of VDF.
Arper, which was founded in 1989 by the Feltrin family, revealed its latest designs for two modular chair systems made from recycled materials.
The first design, called Adell, was created in collaboration with Barcelona-based design consultancy Lievore + Altherr De?sile Park and features customisable pebble-shaped chairs made of 80% recycled plastic.

The textured plastic shell that forms the body of the chair is available in a range of colours and can be fitted with either wooden or metal legs depending on the preference of the customer. The seating can also be used in both an indoor or outdoor context, and can either be left in its original plastic finish or fully or partially upholstered in a variety of different fabrics.
"Fundamentally, it's a system that is customisable to all of the different segments and all the different expressions that people that specify our products are used to," Arper explained in the video, which was produced remotely by Dezeen.
