Arper’s Newest Collaboration: Introducing the Lepal Armchair by Doshi Levien
Lepal
Design by Doshi Levien, 2024
The Lepal armchair is made with contrast in mind, perfectly balancing a shapely hard shell with soft, layered seating on a slender, angled base. This is more than just a comfortable spot to lounge; it is a call to rethink rest as a quiet force of energy and inspiration. Its elegant geometric structure, curved shell and inner cushions accommodate both upright seating and gentle repose, while offering sturdy, yet light support for privacy, ideal for conversation, reading or work across public and private settings. Lepal introduces a cozier, more restful way to approach life in its many forms.
Lepal balances comfort with ergonomics to functional and aesthetic effect. A sculptural profile and soft cushioned seat create a dynamic contrast with a soft interior space and high curved back, generating a beautiful expressive piece with a strong identity. Designed for any space, the elegant monochromatic look of Lepal has options for single or bi-material upholstery, and a metal or wood base. The collection is FSC-certified and its metal base is powder-coated. Detailed upholstery and internal components are put together without the use of glue, making the product fully disassemblable and ready for recovery and reuse prior to end of life recycling.
