About us

ARTICUL™ was founded in 1993 (then Coppa, later joined by Riga Chair Factory) with a focus on producing high quality, well-designed, ergonomic office chairs. Over the years, we have significantly expanded our product range, production methods and expertise, and have completed a wide range of interior projects for all types of public and private spaces.

How did we come about?

Ltd. Coppa

1993

Aldis Circenis founds SIA Coppa Ltd – an interior design company serving the thriving business environment in Riga in the early 1990s.

Riga Chair Factory Ltd

1999

Coppa’s sister company starts the production of office chairs, which can soon be found in many offices and Riga Chair Factory becomes a well-known brand throughout Latvia.

The company grows

2010

As the economic situation changes, the company finds a new specialty – the production of bent-glued plywood, which is of interest not only to the Latvian, but also to the European market. The company starts using a new, bright logo and Riga Chairs™ trademark.

Red Dot

2012

One of the company’s products – the Bloom stool designed by Alda – receives international recognition, receiving the prestigious Red Dot Design Award . This award is soon followed by other design awards.

School furniture

2016

As concerns about children’s health and posture grow nationally, the enters the school furniture market with furniture design for shools, contributing to modern, bright interiors for schools and universities. A website, Skolai.lv, is created to talk about the importance of a modern learning environment.

ARTICUL™

2023

Merger under one brand. With a wide range of products, projects and specialties that have grown beyond the former vision of the company, the brand family of Riga Chairs Factory chooses a new, unifying identity – ARTICUL™.

After completing my architecture studies, it turned out that nobody needed architects at that moment, so I decided to start my own company. At first we designed office interiors, but since then we have grown considerably. I think the main key to our success is that we focus our attention mainly on the product and how well it lives with its user. No fancy legends or unnecessary embellishments.
