Mdf Italia - Arpa outdoor pouf

The ARPA collection is inspired by this musical instrument, one of the most beautiful and captivating. For the design of the collection, a rigorous synthesis exercise was carried out, solving each piece with as few elements as possible.

ARPA combines the stability of the external orthogonal structure with the comfort and softness of the inner cushion. The refined strings add elegance and delicacy to each element giving a feeling of lightness, as if the entire lining floated suspended from its structure. Designed to be timeless, ARPA aims to become an icon, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for functionality and comfort.

The refined strings add elegance and delicacy to each element giving a feeling of lightness, as if the entire lining floated suspended from its structure.

Ramón Esteve Estudio

Ramón Esteve was born in 1964 in Valencia and graduated in 1990 in Architecture at the ETSAM, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in Madrid. In 1991 he founded his own studio, starting an intense activity as a designer, ranging from architecture to interior design, from industrial design to artistic direction. His work is defined around principles of harmony, balance and essentiality; an approach that translates into every project, from the largest and most complex (such as those for public or residential buildings) to the small scale (such as objects and products for the house).

More recently he received the Honorable Mention of Architecture at the COACV award (promoted by the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de la Comunidad Valenciana) for the project "Cottage in the Vineyard". In 2018, he was honored with the Land Rover Born Award for Bombas Gens, and with the International CEMEX Building Award for "Cottage in the Vineyard"; in the same year his name was placed in Forbes' "The Most 100 Creative People in Business" ranking.
