Arper: A curated Meeting of Architecture, Colour and Craft

Elmonubuck
Elmotique

We invited Italian design house Arper to explore a broader spectrum of Elmo leathers, beyond the articles they typically use in their collections. Together, we composed a tailored selection for a new visual story: the modular Ralik sofa by Ichiro Iwasaki in soft pastel-toned Elmonubuck, and the Colina lounge chairs by Lievore Altherr Molina in deeply saturated shades of Elmotique.

As a long-standing partner, Arper shares our commitment to thoughtful design and transparent sustainability. By choosing Elmo—our naturally tanned and zero-waste leather—they advance their own ambitious environmental goals while expanding the material expression of their furniture.

The lobby of Blique Hotel in Stockholm offered a striking backdrop. Its raw geometry and cool architectural language set the stage for Arper’s softly sculpted forms. In that interplay, our most tactile aniline leathers find a new presence that is inviting, expressive and grounded in craft.
