Savo 360 has won the Red Dot Design Award 2022 in the Office Furniture and Office chairs category. The Red Dot Design 2022 jury statement “The intelligent combination of ergonomics, sustainability and minimalist design of the Savo 360 is convincing and makes the swivel chair an attractive piece of seating furniture for a wide range of uses.”
Savo 360 was designed by Olle Lundberg and is a game-changer in office chair design. The goal was to create a sustainable, intuitive office chair with a large proportion of wood, and Savo 360 really challenges the way a flexible office chair can look. Savo 360 is designed to promote movement and provide great flexibility throughout the working day. The chair has a minimalist Scandinavian design and was developed with the office and the home office both in mind. The ergonomics, built-in thanks to the flexibility of the wood, provide immediate comfort. The many design choices make Savo 360 a veritable chameleon.
Olle Lundberg began his career as a designer at the end of the 80s. He studied industrial design at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, at the University of Essen and at ENSCI – Les Ateliers in Paris. He has been running his own design studio, LundbergDesign, since 1990. The studio has a number of employees whose design projects span a broad, many-faceted field.
LundbergDesign has received several international design awards such as the Red Dot Design and IF awards.
The circular, layer-by-layer design means all components are separable, making it possible to update the chair over time and recycle its materials. All components can be removed, replaced or recycled as necessary. The ability to update as it wears instead of replacing it gives Savo 360 its long life. It has a 10-year warranty, but it’s lifetime can be extended significantly e.g. by replacing the back plate, frame or castors.
Savo 360 is certified by Möbelfakta, meaning it was sustainably produced in terms of quality, the environment and social conditions. Savo 360 consists of 68% recycled and renewable material, and 26% is wood, an unusually high proportion for an office chair. The wood is FSC® certified, which means it comes from responsibly produced forests.
Less than 5% of the chair is plastic, where the components are tool-based, reducing waste to 2% in production! The chair’s slim design and bare-essential functions reduce the material required for manufacture. Due to its practical size, it takes up less space during transport than many other classic office chairs.
