Natural, comfortable, and sustainable.‎ True beauty comes with use.‎ The Kata Chair transforms the materiality of wood into a generous, distinctive, lighter chair for everyday applications like dining, meeting, working and beyond.‎ The simplicity and elegance of the Kata Chair is ideal for lively groups and gatherings, reflective of the warm encounters and experiences it supports.‎ A strong focus on materials and textures makes it a timeless addition to any table, desk or meeting space.‎The Kata Chair is available with options of a wood or upholstered shell.‎ In keeping with the Kata family, this new edition celebrates the natural beauty of wood.‎ A combination of a solid wood frame and a delicately textured, custom patterned shell is available with and without armrests and in a range of finishes: natural, black, and rust oak.‎ Comfort can be further enhanced with optional seat cushions.‎ The upholstered version and cushions are enhanced by decorative stitching, available in contrasting colors or tone-on tone.‎ The collection is FSC-certified with construction techniques and easy disassembly, designed for greater sustainable impact.‎Lightweight in form and environmental footprint, Kata is designed with circular sustainability at its core.‎ Arper’s first solid wood lounge chair, Kata takes inspiration from artisan-made wood and woven straw chairs and reimagines the near universal typology using contemporary, sustainable solutions in an expression that’s both graphic and warm.‎ Kata finds form in juxtaposition—an evocative gesture in the movement between material presence and minimal silhouette, softness and strength, tradition and technology.‎The Kata lounge chair is a union of traditional craftsmanship and soft technology.‎ An oak and black locust FSC certified wooden frame supports a tailor-made 3D knit textile.‎ The knit cover is created from recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic that is converted into durable and lightweight fibers.‎ The knit technology is formed to fit the frame, avoiding leftover material waste found in traditional manufacturing.‎ The unified seat and back structure is available in a graphic-patterned 3D knit with internal micro-padding in natural tones of linen, wheat, or charcoal, or a lightweight 3D knit in parallel striped pattern in a choice of colors: water, wheat, or charcoal – also suitable for outdoor use.‎ Additional loose seat and back cushions finishes can be customized in both Arper's complete fabric catalogue and in graphic-patterned 3D Knit.‎
