The versatile and dynamic design of Arper chairs, a brand distributed by La Mercanti.

The dual choice is the recognition of industrial progress at both the production and the design choices that have made possible the selection of Arper’s chairs Saya and Juno, judged by the Standing Committee of ADI innovative products as meeting the requirements of the Association of Italian design, which is the highest authority on Italian design.

Saya , designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, is made of oak plywood, has a comfortable and boldly emblematic silhouette. Juno, one of the last projects of James Irvine, is made of polypropylene and has a declination of versatile use in both internal and external environments.

Saya and Juno will be part of the design | Opera , an exhibition of selected products, which opened on October 1st at the Triennale in Milan in conjunction with the presentation of the ADI Design Index 2013 and will remain open until 3 November 2013 to raise awareness to a wider audience, for the best of Italian design.
