Edité par Arper, Shaal est un canapé structuré et moelleux comme un panier rempli de coussins. Il enveloppe avec douceur les personnes qui s’y assoient, apportant chaleur et tactilité. Ce canapé, créé par Doshi & Levien, est composé d’une coque de soutien qui entoure l’épais rembourrage de Shaal et élève sa forme élégante au-dessus du sol. Le design unique de Shaal provient de sa dualité : à la fois généreux et léger, fixe et adaptable, durable et luxueux.
La légèreté et le confort de la collection de canapés Shaal s'adaptent facilement à de multiples environnements, depuis les espaces d’accueil jusqu’aux bureaux, en passant par l'intimité d’un salon. Le revêtement du panneau externe et des coussins internes est configurable en coordonné ou bien avec des matériaux différents. Les coussins de Shaal sont entièrement déhoussables, ce qui en allonge la durée de vie et étend les possibilités d'utilisation. Les composants et les matériaux peuvent être entièrement démontés pour être réutilisés ou recyclés.

Doshi Levien was founded by designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, who met at the Royal College of Art. The London-based studio is internationally recognised as a marriage of culture, technology, industrial design and craft. Nipa grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, founded on the manifesto of Charles and Ray Eames; Jonathan trained in fine cabinet making and then industrial design. Together, they strive to create a design with rational and functional qualities, to infuse their projects with a sense of inner beauty. Nipa's practice is rooted in his diverse upbringing and discerning eye for visual culture; Jonathan's in industrial precision, combined with the sensitivity of a maker's hand and a deep understanding of materials. What makes Doshi Levien's work so distinctive is not only their confident relationship with colour, material and form, but also their ability to translate meticulous design ideas into the context of production. The duo has created design pieces for leading manufacturers such as B&B Italia, Moroso, Kvadrat and Cappellini, as well as for prestigious museums, international cultural institutions and art galleries.

Founded in 1989 by Luigi Feltrin, Arper is an Italian company that produces designer furniture for the home and office. Arper provides interdisciplinary expertise driven by boundary-pushing innovation. In the late 1990s, Arper hit a turning point thanks to its collaboration with Lievore Altherr Molina, a firm that produced a series of new products, such as the Catifa and Cila chairs, and the Leaf collection. Arper's original design has won numerous awards, including the Red Dot Award 2012 and the Interior Innovation Award 2011. Notably, the brand's iconic Catifa chair won the FX International Interior Design Award in 2002 in England.
