New Artifort Products

New: Paco - Gerard Vollenbrock

Gerard Vollenbrock's Paco is ideal for the living-room table and the conference table. Simple, elegant and eminently comfortable. The chair derives its open appearance from a slim tubular frame and the slightly protruding armrests. And a contrasting colour for the back and armrests lends the Paco a striking accent. Available with a sled or 4-leg base, with or without wheels.
Download HR + 3D Paco

New: Viv

Viv is about elegant, restrained design. Both chair and table share a natural deceptive simplicity. Set off by exquisite details. And Viv is also about craftsmanship, which is expressed perfectly in the saddle leather seat and sleeves. And the expertly welded steel frame and stylish stitching. Viv is design stripped of glamour. Unpretentious.

More Viv & Viv T

Viv T

Toine van den Heuvel based his design for the Viv table on the same concept, with a saddle leather sleeve around the cross-bar as an exclusive detail. The cross-bar can also be fitted high or low. The table top is available in different sizes and finishes.
