Redefining everyday: Arper’s ‘The Project of Living’ | News | Architonic

That commitment to sustainability is evident in all these new designs and Arper has worked with the designers to ensure they are all, at the end of long, useful lives, easy to disassemble and parts recycled or re-used.

As Jean-Marie Massaud says, design has a responsibility to answer to current and future needs, on a social and environmental level. And Arper’s Project of Living does it beautifully.

‘Design is a consequence of social practices,’ says Massaud. ‘It responds to our lifestyle and tries to help us have a more convenient, more elegant way of living. Designers have to be progressive. We can’t just tell the same story over and over, but instead, do better each time.’
