Trade terms for professionals and design studios
Few makers dare to compare furniture to handwriting. Arper does it in print: Loop's soft elements combine «in short clusters or long, flowing lines as unique and expressive as a signature». The claim survives contact with the product — every Loop modular composition really is written rather than assembled, its line flowing straight, curving, turning corners or closing on itself, so that no two installations need ever sign the same way. Lievore Altherr Molina drew the system in 2009; the Red Dot Product Design Award followed in 2010.
The vocabulary is generous: two- and three-seater sofas that also stand alone in a waiting room, centre and end modules in different sizes, concave and convex corner modules, cushions in two sizes, upholstery in fabrics, leathers and coated fabrics — with a removable version for long service lives. Created for waiting rooms and meeting spaces, at ease in hotels, restaurants and homes: La Mercanti supplies Loop across the UK with fabric samples ahead of the order.
Collection: Loop by Arper — modular system of soft sofa elements for waiting rooms, meeting spaces, lounge and hospitality areas, also as a free-standing home sofa
Designer: Lievore Altherr Molina, 2009
Award: Red Dot Product Design Award, 2010
Free-standing sofas: two-seater and three-seater versions, usable on their own outside any composition
Modular elements: centre modules and end modules in different sizes; corner modules in concave and convex versions
Compositions: countless linear, curved, angular and circular arrangements — from short clusters to long, flowing lines
Upholstery: wide range of fabrics, leathers and coated fabrics; also available in a removable-cover version
Cushions: accessory cushions in two different sizes
Character: graphic in form and silhouette, with an overall effect Arper calls almost architectural — in large spaces the linear form inscribes areas for waiting, resting and meeting; at home it may be compact or commanding
Dimensions: module-by-module drawings and measures come from Arper's technical sheets — La Mercanti attaches them to every quotation
Uses: waiting and reception areas, meeting spaces, lounge and common areas, hospitality and restaurants, home living and home office — and, in projects that call for it, covered open-air lounges proposed by La Mercanti
