Irvine, Antti Kotilainen, Jean-Marie Massaud and the trio,
Lievore Altherr Molina, among others—becomes what, in
the words of the last group, of the moment collectors or
just plain dwellers crave: "pure, beautiful forms derived
from the constraints of function, technology and context."
The star of Arper's collection is undoubtedly the 'Loop'
modular system of sofa elements by Lievore Altherr Molina
that "combine in short clusters or long, flowing lines as
unique and expressive as a signature." Indeed, so flowing
is 'Loop,' shown here in soft pollen yellow, it forms a
kind of three-dimensional handwriting. Another Lievore
Altherr Molina instant classic is the three-seat 'Saari'
sofa, available also in smaller sizes, and shown here in
vibrant turquoise. A sofa may make or break the design
integrity of a living room: it must constitute a presence as
well as a cozy shell for sitting, lounging or even sleeping.
The beauty of 'Loop' and 'Saari' is that their lines are
assertively modern, even minimalist, yet ergonomically
they amply contain, even cocoon the sitter.
