We strive to become a leading example of responsible business.

Material & Innovation

: Introducing our new Catifa Carta chair, a groundbreaking reimagination of our timeless Catifa 53, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, which has captivated since its launch in 2001. Catifa Carta marks a pivotal moment as we move forward in our journey to becoming a leading example of responsible business.
Catifa Carta has a shell entirely made of PaperShell, an innovative material derived from paper. PaperShell significantly reduces the chair’s environmental footprint by doing what trees do: storing carbon dioxide captured by trees. At the end of its life, through pyrolysis, the shell can be transformed into biochar, a form of charcoal that locks in the CO2 captured and returns it to the earth. With Catifa Carta, we redefine the possibilities of design, proving that beauty, functionality, and environmental responsibility can seamlessly coexist.
