Kata was created for the long haul. Longevity and environmental sustainability are at the heart of the slouchy seat, designed by Altherr Désile Park for Arper with FSC-certified wood (oak or black locust) and a 3D-knit cover.

The upholstery is crafted with fibres derived from the recycled polyester of post-consumer plastic — a kilo of waste (or 48 PET bottles) equals a kilo of yarn — and is formed to fit the frame perfectly, avoiding excess. It comes in tones of Linen, Wheat and Charcoal, with a striped pattern option.
