GREEN IS BETTER!

Eco sustainability

For us at Arquati’s focus on quality of the products always comes with attention for the production processes and the skilful use of energy resources, especially renewable sources to reduce the impact on the environment.
From production waste trimmings, we make our line of recycled acrylic fabrics with colours highly resistant to UV rays. The acrylic yarn processing uses less water and chemical products, thus it lowers CO2 emissions and extends the use of natural resources.

OUTSIDE THE BOX COMMUNICATION

Arquati Showroom

Restructured in 2018, the showroom designed by Franco Arquati reconstructs indoors an urban setting made of streets, squares and shops. The ideal scene to smartly feature all the products in our catalogue and have the customers stroll through during real event days.

This is the pride of the production site, a real living 3D catalogue.  Have a walk through and be inspired by Arquati design and style.

"My husband and I are very happy with our awning installed on our terrace. Excellent job! During the summer, the awning has allowed us to enjoy sunny afternoons without suffering from the heat and now that the weather has changed, we are not bother by the rain etc....and I am pleased to say that the fabric has remained unchanged. Excellent quality of materials!"
