Visionary design: Catifa Carta chair by Arper
The Italian design company Arper announces sustainable news: it is reissuing its Catifa 2001 chair, designed in 53, in an innovative ecological material. The Catifa Carta model has a shell made of PaperShell - a revolutionary material made from a wood by-product that guarantees both strength and comfort. The material ensures that the environmental impact associated with the production of the chair can be drastically reduced. Because PaperShell does what trees do: bind carbon dioxide. At the end of its life cycle, the material can be shredded into biochar, with the CO2 bound in the previous life phases remaining in the coal. This is the perfect combination of design and sustainability.
