In Mumbai, Bengaluru or Gurugram, a lobby is judged by a hard ratio: how many people it seats without feeling crowded. This is where the compact size of the Saari armchair earns its keep. Same sculptural shell, same full upholstery, smaller footprint: more lounge seats in the same square metres, without falling back on the thin comfort of a visitor chair. The larger size stays in the catalogue for where space allows — the point is that the choice exists.
The family around it, drawn by Lievore Altherr Molina in 2009, completes the floor: chairs, two- and three-seat sofas, benches and ottomans, all on four-leg bases with castors on request. Upholstery in fabric, leather or coated fabric across a wide palette; declared by Arper for restaurants, hotels, lobbies and offices, and awarded the People's Choice at the AZ Awards in 2022.
