The second-hand Catifa 80 chair stands out with its elegant and timeless design. Created for the brand Arper, it is distinguished by its clean lines and generous seat, giving it a presence that is both modern and refined. The Catifa 80 fits easily into a variety of environments, whether in a workspace, a meeting room, or a contemporary interior. Designed by the studio Lievore Altherr Molina, this model reflects an approach to design that is both functional and aesthetic. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the finishes are characteristic of the craftsmanship of Arper, known for creating pieces that are both durable and comfortable. This Catifa 80 is offered in a leather version. It shows a few small signs of wear on the leather from previous use, which remain discreet and do not affect the comfort or the overall appearance of the chair.
Lievore Altherr Molina was founded by Alberto Lievore, Jeannette Altherr and Manel Molina in Barcelona in 1991. The studio specialises in product design, art direction and furniture, but is also at the heart of interior architecture and packaging projects. The three designers are united by a desire to design beautiful, pure forms, always with functionality in mind. Their internationally acclaimed work won Spain's National Design Award in 1999. They work with a wide range of companies including Andreu World, Arper, Emmebi, Forscarini, Poltrona Frau and Tacchini. They also continue to teach in parallel and give courses at Spanish universities. The Catifa and Leaf collections are among the largest and most popular with the public.
