Arpa is a 3 seater fabric garden sofa by MDF Italia, design by Ramón Esteve.
As the name suggests, the Arpa collection is based on the Harp, one of the most beautiful and captivating musical instruments.
Unlike the meticulous work involved in manufacturing a harp, in designing this collection, rigorous paring down was applied, resolving each piece with the least possible number of elements.
Arpa combines the stability of the outer orthogonal structure, with the comfort and softness of the inside cushion. The refined cords add elegance and delicacy to each element in the range, giving a a sensation of lightness, as if the entire upholstering was floating, suspended by its structure.
Designed to be timeless, Arpa is meant to become iconic, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also due to functionality and comfort.
Upholstered structure:
Backrest and seat loadbearing structure in stainless steel, 2 x 2 cm section, epoxy powder coated using specific treatment for outdoor use in the matt goffered finish, in white, corten, pewter, and black iron colours. The pewter and black iron paint finishes have a cloudy effect, a feature and peculiarity of this particular finish. The seat frame has elastic straps, specifically for outdoor use.
The backrest frame is woven by hand using high tensile polyester cord, in mass pigmented colour, able to guarantee high resistance to weather, abrasion, limited elongation, and colour fastness. The seats are made with original, exclusive weaving.
Cushions and Covering
The back and seat cushions are made of Dryfeel (draining polyurethane) of varied densities, wrapped in siliconed hollow fibre bound in polyester, that will not rot, does not cause suffocation, and is antibacterial, while the final cover is in 100% polyester Tecnostrong.
This particular composition of the cushion gives the padding natural softness and elasticity, a long lifespan and great comfort.
The upholstery fabric covers every part of the cushions, and is completely removable.
