CATIFA 53

In profile, Catifa looks a little like a carpet caught in the wind, beginning to curl and take flight. In fact, the comparison is literal — in Catalan, catifa means carpet. Like a rug, the Catifa chair can be both embracing and thin as a line. It is a synthesis of maximum generosity and minimum gesture. It allows comfort and freedom at the same time.

Catifa began with a simple idea. An undulating form to support the body. Over time, this most intuitive association would lead organically to a comprehensive, adaptable system of seating: chair, lounge, stool, ottoman, bench.

A family grows organically: first a feeling, then a pairing, next a brood. All recognizable as related, each member is an individual with unique traits and characteristics. Since its original conception in 1999, Catifa has grown into a family of six collections with variations in finish and form, yet has never lost its essential identity. Distinguished in its expression, Catifa offers a sensuous synthesis of function and form that, with a little creativity, can integrate into almost any environment. Complementary, yet singular. Compatible, yet distinctive. Together or alone.
