From a furniture manufacturing business to an international design presence, Arper has carved a niche for itself in the industry with a widespread network that spans across 90 countries. We are proud to welcome them on board Love That Design!
Founded in 1989 by the Feltrin family as a leather artisan enterprise, Arper is a leading Italian furniture company, renowned for its innovative products and state of the art processes. The philosophy of the brand, which approaches design as a means of action and communication, expresses itself through special focus on colour and system flexibility, with a constant dialogue between form and function.
The brand’s strong drive to succeed internationally with products targeted for different uses and market segments, has led to Arper’s expansion in the United States, Middle East and Far East.
About Arper
Headquartered in Monastier di Treviso, Arper draws inspiration through its collaborations with international design studios. Their initial partnership, with the Lievore Altherr Molina Studio, led to a series of bestsellers with many other designers coming onboard. Amongst the designers that have crafted Arper’s most successful products are Jean-Marie Massaud, James Irvine, Simon Pengelly, Antti Kotilainen, the Metrica Studio and Ichiro Iwasaki.
“Dubai’s strategic location and ever growing landscape is the perfect platform for Arper, as this city is greatly favoured by the region’s design and architecture community.”
– Rajesh Iyer, Regional Director, Middle East
With subsidiaries, branches, and showrooms in Italy and abroad, Arper’s long term goal is to foster a more direct relationship with their partners within a global perspective. They plan to do this via personalised services, and an expansion strategy that is aimed at enhancing each local market.
To facilitate convenient connections with business partners in Asia and Europe, Arper set up a showroom in Dubai’s Business Bay area. Launched in 2014 and spanning over 210 square metres, it features Arper’s award winning Softer Collection amongst others, and serves as a central hub to the Middle East region.
