Catifa 46 is the little sister of Catifa 53. Same sleek profile with a crisp, casual efficiency that is designed for contract use and spaces that require a slightly smaller scale. Extremely flexible, Catifa 46 extends the palette of finishes, bases and accessories for customization to accommodate an almost limitless array of contract applications without altering its essential character.

Made for both residential and contract use, indoors and out, the Catifa 46 shell and base are fabricated in a diverse range of materials, colors and finishes. The shell is constructed in double- curved plywood, mono- or bi-color polypropylene (an exclusive process pioneered by Arper), covered in leather or fabric or finished with upholstered pads. The base comes in chrome-finished steel, satin-finished stainless steel, aluminum or powder-coated aluminum and is available in the following base configurations: sled, four-legs in tube, aluminum trestle and five-ways. The sled and four-leg bases are stackable to allow for large-scale use and storage. A table accessory is available for campus or auditorium use (please call the hive showroom to specify). Catifa 46 is also available as a stool.
