The pursuit of the essential is at the heart of Italian company Arper’s most recent introductions. Through the line-up of new products designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, the company presents a vision for work spaces, bringing balance, color, intuition, play and lightness into the office.

Arper products can be seen in the company’s showrooms in NYC at 476 Broadway and at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart (3rd floor). Furthermore, Arper continues to expand its operations serving the North America market at its new High Point, North Carolina facility. With primary purpose to centralize manufacturing and logistics for North America, operations at the 37,000 sq.ft. building will cut lead times for local projects.
