Arper joins the 20th edition of London Design Festival, celebrating the city’s creativity as a global design capital. During LDF, Arper will present its latest 2022 collections for the first time in the UK.
The newly restyled London showroom is the perfect setting to explore The Project of Living, Arper’s new concept - a reflection on the constant evolution of physical spaces and relationships. As new boundaries between home and work emerge, everything is in flux and anything is possible. We all want to live more seamlessly, more flexibly, more sustainably, more inspired.
Arper creates spaces that explore these possibilities, with harmonious forms, dynamic colour, and versatile systems that allow us to change and grow. Diverse perspectives and ideas that shape what’s next, with responsive design that helps us live better with the planet.
20 - 21 September: Arper is also taking part in CDW’s Clerkenwell Design Trail as the 2-day celebration will take over the area with engaging events and creative activities.
20 September: Arper will host Meet the Designers, a private showroom event with Doshi Levien in conversation with Arper’s Head of Product & Design Nicolò Fanzago and journalist Bethan Ryder exploring new sofa collection, Shaal and the importance of collaboration between product design and manufacturing. RSVP is essential.

Going to the toilet, washing our hands – these are daily routines that we don't think much about. For most of us, having sanitary facilities with clean water is not given much thought day-to-day. However, for two billion people globally - who lack access to sanitation - it isn’t as simple. And the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened this vast difference in access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. LIXIL, maker of pioneering water and housing products that includes GROHE in its iconic brand portfolio, sets a target of improving sanitation and quality of life for 100 million people by 2025 through its technology and capabilities as a global leader.
Join Jin Montesano, Chief People Officer, LIXIL and Carla Haddad Mardini, Director, Private Fundraising and Partnerships, UNICEF on LIXIL brand GROHE’s digital experience hub, GROHE X, for a thought-provoking conversation centred around how LIXIL and UNICEF are combining their strengths to support underserved communities to improve the quality of life for millions.
GROHE X is GROHE’s new and forward-thinking multimedia and broadcast hub, and an industry-first digital platform. Visitors to the hub can experience informative and inspirational multimedia content tailored to their needs. For example, architects and designers can gain insight on the global trends impacting the sanitary business, access how-to videos on GROHE’s leading products and source inspiration for their latest project.
Alongside uniting thought-provoking and entertaining content, GROHE X offers a platform that brings its community closer together, facilitating engaging exchange and support from GROHE brand experts.
Designers and architects can register to explore the new hub by visiting www.grohe-x.com
