Kinesit Met × Arper


MATERIAL AND COLOR
Kinesit Met is an exercise in colour and material design, demonstrating the power of both to transform a product's character entirely. A refined evolution of the Kinesit chair by Lievore Altherr Molina (2015), it introduces metallic armrests and a richer palette, bringing added warmth, comfort, and adaptable performance to the fluid work environments of today — spaces that are no longer purely technical, and no longer willing to look like it.
The new colours stem from a specific observation: that black and white felt too limiting, too clinical for domestic and material-led spaces where a chair is expected to hold its own alongside stone, concrete, walnut, and warm fabric. The new palette of three matte metallic tones — copper, forged black, and raw aluminium — creates a dialogue with these materials, anchoring the chair in warmer, more tactile environments without sacrificing the formal precision that defines the original.











COPPER AND FORGE BLACK
Kinesit Met was born from a specific question: what colours would allow an office chair to disappear into the warmth of a domestic interior, a walnut-panelled boardroom, or the worn plaster of a historic building — spaces where the white plastic of the original Kinesit simply did not belong.
Black metal and copper were the answer. Not simply as colours, but as materials with their own weight and temperature — one elegant and precise, the other warm and aged. Together, they give Kinesit Met a sophisticated presence that bridges contemporary and historic architecture with equal ease.











RAW ALUMINIUM
Matte silver completes the Met palette as its cooler counterpart — not the bright chrome of conventional office furniture, but something closer to cast aluminium: dense, composed, and with the particular dignity of a material that has been worked rather than coated.
Where Copper and Black bridges warm and historic interiors, Matte Silver is at home in a different register: concrete walls, exposed metal structures, cool linoleum floors, the graphic precision of a contemporary workspace. A finish that reads as material first, colour second.
