Is the enigmatic circle the most pleasing shape? Circles are fun—they roll, they amuse, they tease. They contrast with the rigidity of rectangles, triangles, right angles. Our sun appears as a circle; lakes usually take a circular form; apples are round. And one of nature’s most appealing forms are bubbles: Who doesn’t enjoy soaking in a bubble bath? kids blowing bubbles and chasing them until they burst. Dogs chasing balls.

With Parentesit, Arper not only offers a bubbly approach to upholstered free-standing panels, but also an unexpected counterpoint to their typically rectangular form.

The line of sound-damping panels comes in a palette of different colors, freeing up the designer to incorporate even more visual interest in the surrounding furnishings. Vivid, contrasting shades add an element of fun. And the panels work especially well in large reception areas, breaking up the space for private nooks or conversation niches that accommodate more intimate gatherings.

The Parentesit panels capitalize on Arper’s expertise with modularity. Endlessly flexible and customizable, Arper’s agile systems can be adapted with ease to diverse and changing needs and spaces. They’re easy to assemble and disassemble for maintenance, reuse, and recycling.
