Sava

Designed by award-winning architect Sava Cvek and backed by more than half a century of Stylex know-how, SAVA® represents a revolution in control, comfort, and movement. Its groundbreaking Balanced Tilt mechanism functions through a set of user-friendly, clearly visible paddle adjustments to optimize the seated experience. With its flexible seat pan and a back that pivots around a forward point under that seat, the chair delivers correct geometry to achieve a grounded, remarkably responsive ride that is both poised and effortless for a wide range of individuals. In fact, SAVA has been fully tested for users up to 325 pounds.

Versatility

SAVA® is a product designed to perform many different functions, depending on the specification. 4-paddle controls with fixed arms work well in the executive office. 4-paddle controls with height-adjustable arms are more suitable to a heads-down, computer-intensive environment. For conference, the two 2-paddle control with fixed arms might be ideal. The line’s flexibility permits the specifier to address one particular area or the entire office. Just as different components can be combined for a broad range of applications, so can the upholstery style be selected for different tastes. Euro is rather relaxed. Thin Pad makes an executive expression. The Standard upholstery means business without pretension. All in all, SAVA smoothly addresses the broad spectrum of requirements the modern office demands. It’s a multi-purpose, multi-tasking product line that always feels coherent and singular.

Aesthetics

SAVA® wasn’t conceived to be flashy or faddish. Rather, it is simply timeless. All three versions – Standard, Euro, and Thin Pad – present distinctively clean, classical lines, in addition to the most advanced ergonomics. Making a sophisticated first impression and performing beautifully throughout its working life, this family of chairs is built for demanding, knowledgeable users in this generation and the next, and the next.
