PUSHING THE LEGACY
INTO THE FUTURE
Lievore Altherr Molina was founded by Alberto Lievore, Jeannette Altherr and Manel Molina in 1991. In 2001 they designed Catifa 53 — one of our most awarded collections and the first with an environmental product declaration. Building on this legacy, Catifa Carta is a groundbreaking reimagination of the timeless Catifa 53, featuring a re-engineered shell made from a paper-derived material that maintains the same strength and comfort that define Catifa’s iconic bi-curved silhouette.
