SAVO innovations

SAVO’s vision is to offer the best sitting experience through innovative office chairs with intuitive designs. A vision that is confirmed by innovations that constantly drive us forward.

1990
SAVO launches a new way of sitting

When SAVO launched its unique SAVO Floating Tilt® seat concept, it was a totally new solution for extended sitting comfort. SAVO Floating Tilt® facilitates and stimulates movement and provides support where and when needed. Generation 5, the multi-dynamic seat system became reality. Savo’s status as a trendsetter was confirmed when other suppliers launched chair models with a Free Float mechanism.

1995
Timeless design with SAVO Studio 32

SAVO Studio is a small office chair developed more than 30 years ago that has been upgraded to suit a modern, intuitive sitting. A high-quality chair with a timeless design ideal for the activity-based office and short stints of sitting, especially in the home office. An innovation that has stood the test of time and can now be classed as an icon.

2002
SAVO Maxikon without a single screw SAVO Ikon/Maxikon was launched in 2002 as a chair concept without a single screw. With so few parts, the chairs represent a more sustainable manufacturing process. Accessories such as armrests and headrest can be installed and removed without tools. With its honest design and many possible variations, Maxikon has become a classic in Savo’s product range.

2010
SAVO S3 meets Nordic Swan standards SAVO S3 was launched in 2010 and when it received the Nordic Swan eco-label in 2012, it became the first work chair to meet Nordic Swan standards. There’s no better proof that sustainability forms part of Savo’s innovative thinking. The chair has a patented function that follows the curvature of the back and provides lumbar support, regardless of sitting position.

2012
SAVO Invite invites you to the meeting room When SAVO Invite was launched, meetings were often arranged such that one person led the meeting and everyone else was the audience. SAVO Invite allows work and encourages movement during meetings as the chair is a hybrid meeting chair and work chair. The chair was ahead of its time, but today work meetings and workshops are a natural part of the meeting culture.

2014
The success of SAVO Soul

SAVO Soul was a success as activity-based workplaces made their break through and there was a need for office chairs that easily adapt to the current occupant. SAVO Soul is intuitive; it automatically follows the body’s movements and its simplicity is its strength. The most important settings, seat height, seat depth and back height, can be quickly adapted to suit one or more users and are easily reached while sitting.

The chair’s unique flexi-back automatically follows back movements. SAVO Soul was also developed with a mesh back that provides optimal support in every position.

2017
SAVO Joi with the body in motion

SAVO Joi is a stool with a joystick function and was an utterly new kind of ergonomic innovation when it was launched in 2017. The stool encourages active sitting thanks to the mechanism in the stand that allows the user to move through 360 degrees. The feeling is akin to sitting and balancing on a pilates ball, which stimulates back musculature. Our starting point was to work with the body in motion and how to optimise sitting. Today there are many imitations of SAVO Joi, a recognition of just how good the product is and how great a pioneer SAVO is in its field.
