Innovation and sustainability are Arpa Industriale’s drivers in the creation of valuable and durable materials for interior design. Arpa has developed BLOOM, a new sustainable core technology.

With BLOOM, lignin technology has been introduced to significantly reduce the amount of phenol included in the resin by 50%. Lignin is a natural polymer defined as the glue that holds wood fibres together. With this innovation most of the key ingredients for Arpa products originate from the same place: responsibly managed forests.

In partnership with universities and research institutes, we developed a proprietary lignin-based resin. Natural glue Lignin is a natural polymer that gives wood its rigidity and strength to resist external forces. After cellulose, it is the second most abundant natural polymer in the world, and is a renewable raw material.

The range contains a selection of 36 plain colours from the Colorsintesi family in three different finishes (Erre, Lucida and Kér) are now available in 0.7 mm tickness with Bloom. There are also 4 colours in the FENIX NTM® BLOOM range.

Thanks to its new technology and the increase of natural raw materials, the new FENIX NTM® BLOOM and Arpa BLOOM products have a greater environmental performance.
