About the Item

The Catifa 80 is a light, low lounge chair characterized by a pronounced horizontal silhouette and a generous, wide seat that feels spacious without appearing bulky. It has a relaxed, understated presence that suits lounge areas, waiting rooms, residential spaces or breakout zones. Its shell is ergonomically shaped and can be upholstered in patterned fabric or Italian black leather (as shown in photos). Its pedestal-style base with a polished aluminum finish features a return mechanism that re-centers the chair after use. Designed by Lievore Altherr Molina for Arper, the Catifa 80 reflects the brand’s signature balance of comfort, innovation, and architectural clarity. The gently flared profile encourages a relaxed seating posture while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into both residential and contract interiors. The chair’s sculptural yet restrained form allows it to function as both a practical seating solution and a refined design statement, offering visual lightness alongside generous comfort. Durable materials and thoughtful engineering make it well-suited for high-traffic environments while remaining equally at home as a sophisticated accent piece in modern living spaces.
