Few plastic design chairs can quote four independent panels. Arper's Juno collected the Red Dot Product Design Award and — telling for British interiors — the Design Guild Mark, both in 2013, followed by the ADI Design Index selection and the Interior Innovation Award in 2014. Juno 02 is that recognised silhouette reborn: the same slim, essential line by James Irvine, now moulded in recycled polypropylene from post-industrial waste, in a palette drawn from the natural world.
The collection keeps its choices legible. A four-leg chair with an open backrest; a restyled version with armrests; both available in exposed plastic or with a seat cushion applied without glue for indoor comfort, plus a removable cushion made for outdoor use. Every version stacks, and the glides that suit different floorings come as standard. From the meeting table to the courtyard café, from home office to teaching rooms, one chair answers — and La Mercanti delivers it worldwide with fabric samples ahead of the order.
