The quiet hero of this family is a panel. Every Leaf table — the low pebble-shaped one at 50 cm, the rounds of 79 and 100 cm, the 79×79 cm square — carries a top in Compact HPL, a dense, self-supporting high-pressure laminate in grey H01 that Arper declares suitable for outdoor use in all table versions. On an Indian veranda that declaration matters: sun, dust and the wet season meet a surface designed to be wiped clean with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Around the tables, Lievore Altherr Molina's painted steel rod draws the seating — chairs, stackable chairs, lounge chair, chaise longue, stools at 64 and 74 cm — with white, green and moka declared for the outdoors and chrome reserved for interiors. La Mercanti details the whole set for residences, hospitality and offices, one order line at a time.

FAQ

How does the cushion fix to the seat?
The sheet declares removable upholstered front cushions — placed and lifted without tools. The exact fixing detail is not specified, so we confirm it on Arper documentation project by project.
How large is the square table?
79×79 cm at 74 cm height — the grid module of the family: it sits flush against walls and lines up in rows on terraces and in cafés.
Can I add cushions in a second phase?
Yes — the front cushions are removable accessories ordered per seat, in polyurethane or soft leather, also after the first installation.
Can tables be ordered without the chairs?
Certainly: every piece is a separate order line. Some projects start from the tables and bring in the seating family later; the finishes palette stays the same.
What is moka exactly?
V34, a matt dark-brown paint — the deepest of the three painted colours beside white V12 and green V37, available on seats and table frames alike.

How to choose Leaf finishes for Indian light

Strong sun, warm interiors, monsoon months: four steps to a palette that lasts.

Split the rooms from the verandas
Chrome is declared for interiors: let it shine in the living room, and give the veranda the painted finishes — white, green or moka.
Test the colours in full sun
Matt white cools a bright terrace, moka anchors shaded loggias, green sits naturally among planters. Judge samples outdoors at noon, not in the showroom.
Match the table frames
Table frames repeat the three painted colours, with the grey HPL top as constant — a single palette carries the whole set.
Plan around the wet season
Follow the declared routine when the monsoon arrives: clean, dry thoroughly and store the set — the stackable chair keeps the footprint small.
Confirm the palette with La Mercanti
Send room shots and the floor plan: we check finishes and versions on Arper documentation before the order is placed.
