Named after the Ariake Sea, in southern Japan, Ariake means daybreak in Japanese. It symbolizes a new chapter for Japanese furniture, with two factories from the Saga prefecture collaborating in the international arena. Ariake belief is that furniture is made for social settings, where people eat, live and work together. By having the craftsmen and designers eat, live and work together, there followed a collective energy and mutual trust that helped define the soul of the brand. The result is a stunning collection of hand and machine made furniture inspired by the spirituality of Japanese culture in urban contexts.

Arper believes good design is a synthesis of technique, cost, material, function, use, taste and sustainability. That concentration of meanings, associations and possibilities must reside in simple, singular forms. Arper produces objects carrying a rich, intellectual density in shape whilst at the same time seeming natural and effortless. This pursuit of the essential has made Arper one of the world’s leading contract brands.
