Arper Planesit
Strong and serene, Planesit adds to Kinesit’s intuitive, built-in technology and superlative comfort, and offers a new, accessible expression of ergonomic support. The addition of a wide armrest serves as a small writing tablet and enhances the chair’s effortless functionality. Visually, the intersection of Planesit’s horizontal and vertical planes telecasts playful geometry inspired by graphic paintings of the 20th century.

Trained in industrial design, Alejandro Valdés (Asturias, Spain, 1975) began his design professional trajectory in Milan and Barcelona working at Fiat Auto Advanced Design, Bonetto Design and Mario Ruiz design studio.
