As recently as in October 2010, the Luxembourg-based Skype’s Stockholm office in Slussen housed only 35 employees. The video- and audio-focused team’s digs were bursting at the seams and new offices were needed. Skype found its next Stockholm home in a completely restored massive historical building, München Brewery, a landmark of Stockholm’s skyline.

Saari
The Saari Collection is a seating system of chairs, armchairs, sofas and benches designed for restaurants, bars, hotels and lobbies. A synthesis of classic and contemporary, its sculptural shape is enhanced by a wide range of colors and materials.
Available as chair, armchair, bucket seat and a one-, two- and three-seat sofa and bench. Wood and metal frame upholstered in fabric or leather is mounted on a four-leg steel base which can be lacquered, chromed or veneered. The armchair and bucket chair are also available with trestle base, with or without castors. More
Loop
A harmonious line that adds a distinctive touch of style to community spaces, or a warm and attractive furnishing scheme lending a stylish touch to the home. Whatever its setting, Loop’s soft, elegant lines are a stylish expression of Arper’s departure in the divan and sofa segment: modular and fitted for contract projects or two- or three-seaters for domestic settings. A padded wooden frame mounted on a brushed steel structure with steel or aluminum feet is upholstered in a wide range of fabrics. A fully removable velcro-fastened cover is available. System elements include both short and long segments, concave and convex corner units and arm rest ends that can be attached and detached. Custom upholstery is also available.
