Designer
Jean-Marie Massaud
Since the beginning of his career (as 1990 graduate of Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Paris Design Institute), Jean-Marie Massaud has been working on an extensive range of works, stretching from architecture to objects, from one-off project to serial ones, from macro environment down to micro contexts. Major brands (Arper, Axor, Christofle, Air France, Toyota) have solicited his ability to mix comfort and elegance, zeitgeist and heritage, generosity and distinction.Beyond these elegant designs (from stadium, flying hotel, concept-car to art table and furniture collections) his quest for lightness – in matters of essence – synthesize three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic and industrial efficiency, and environmental concerns. His creations, whether speculative or pragmatic, explore this imperative paradigm: reconciling pleasure with responsibility, the individual with the collective.
Arper
At Arper, they create chairs, tables, and furnishings for community, work and home.
They're motivated by relationships: between products and spaces, spaces and people, people and their networks. They frame everything—their soft, essential design sensibility, their direct and personalized service, organizational and corporate policies, their global brand identity—in terms of human values.
A FAMILIAR STORY — They are a fast-growing company founded in 1989—a family business guided by an integrative, human-centered approach. They have grown from a furniture manufacturing business to an international design presence, dramatically increasing their turnover and adding hundreds of new employees to the Arper family.
DESIGN APPROACH — Every part of the product development process—from design to production to long-term impact—is carefully considered, bringing function, aesthetic, detail together in elegant resolution.
A UNIQUE SENSIBILITY — Arper's design ethos is based on the versatility of essential forms. Over time, their approach has evolved around six core concepts: Balance, Family, Intuition, Light, Color, Play.
