Catifa Carta joins the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in Melbourne, Australia’s oldest gallery and one of the country’s leading cultural institutions. An important recognition of the journey between PaperShell and Arper, rooted in exploring new possibilities with materials and processes and advancing more responsible and circular design.
The Catifa Carta chair shell is made from PaperShell, and developed in collaboration with Arper.
Catifa Carta is also currently on display in Plant Life: The Nature of Design at NGV Australia. The exhibition explores the relationship between nature and design, and the role plant-based materials can play in shaping new approaches to design and imagining the future.
