Sayl Chair

Yves Béhar

A new reference point in its class

Good design, healthy support, and exceptional value are always attractive, and Sayl delivers all three. By using smart engineering to transform simple materials, we were able to make Sayl accessible to more people. Sayl designer Yves Béhar and our development team thought and rethought every part of the design and, in the end, created a full family of seating that sets the benchmark in its category for quality, performance, and design.

A complete family of seating

The smart engineering and great style of the Sayl work chair can also be found in the Sayl stool and side chair. Work chairs, side chairs, and stools feature upholstered seats with either upholstered or suspension backs. Side chairs feature a 4-leg base, which allows for stacking up to 4 chairs, or a cantilever base.

3D Intelligent Back

Sayl’s unframed 3D Intelligent back lets you stretch and move, providing a healthy balance between support and freedom. The elastomer strands of the suspension back vary in thickness and tension to provide greater support in the transition areas along the spine and less elsewhere to encourage a range of seated movement.

PostureFit

The development of Sayl’s 3D Intelligent suspension back provides passive PostureFit sacral support, which allows your spine to maintain its natural “S” shape and empowers your body to maintain a healthful posture with less fatigue.

Dynamic support

The frame of the fully upholstered work chair mimics the 3D Intelligent suspension, providing similar dynamic support with a more traditional backrest. An optional lumbar support is available on both work chair models and features a 10 cm adjustment range.

Aesthetic choices

Sayl’s unframed back and Y-Tower support create a striking visual aesthetic that reveals the designer’s inspiration and intent. The stretch-knit back cover offers a softer, warmer aesthetic while maintaining the beauty, support, and breathability of Sayl’s classic 3D suspension back. A fully upholstered version is also available. Both offer an expressive palette that will complement any environment.

Responsible Design

Inspired by suspension bridges—structures that deliver the most using the least amount of material—Yves Béhar applied the engineering principles of these amazing structures to create Sayl. The work chair’s eco-dematerialized design uses less material in more creative ways to provide ergonomic support for people up to 159 kg.

We manufacture Sayl chairs on three continents to reduce the distance between the factory and the buyer. This product contains no PVCs and its materials are almost entirely recyclable.
