Claudio Feltrin, managing director of Arper, says that "receiving the Compasso d'Oro is a very important milestone for the company ; the jury's judgment on the product Nuur reward all of us and is a tribute to the capacity and effectiveness of company system, which in the latest 10 years has been investeding heavily in research, technical, environmental sustainability, communication and commercial network;  a complex commitment behind the project, design and functionality of a product. Receiving the Compasso d' Oro is therefore an encouragement to continue and develop policies and choices that Arper has undertaken to date. " The table Nuur is a project presented by Arper in 2009 and selected for design and construction requirements for ADI Design Index 2010 publication, section "Design for Living". It deals with a table standing out for its elegance, lightness and versatility in contract and home-office environments, thanks to some accessories completing it, enhancing its features.The complex design ensures a good integration of functional, aesthetic and economic requirements. The use of a material such as aluminum has allowed a more plastic design of the legs and the best compromise between strength and size. The prototypal and industrialization process has ensured high aesthetic solutions expressing in the best way the design style by Pengelly: the leg is made of one piece, without junction signs; the profile of the structure is very complex, designed to contain all the building elements, shielded by an inch edge. The modular design allows to manage in stock a wide range of sizes and versions. The table can also be completely disassembled, reducing packaging, shipment and consumption.  http://living-room.designfurniturefurnishing.com/articles/article/living-room/1821/arper-the-first-compasso-d-oro.html
