The arp (plastic research workshop) is an ephemeral association of 3 designers (michel mortier, j-andré motte and pierre guariche) which aims to offer french industrialists innovative furniture on the technical and stylistic level. The arp is created in oct.54, in 1955 the group wins the competition of the furniture of series. If the whole testifies to a homogeneous aesthetic each creator remains identifiable.
