Faveo and Piana Alessichair Shortlisted for FX Awards

Faveo (Workplace Seating), designed by Paul Brooks, is a new task and occasional seating range which has received a Red Dot Design Award. The Faveo task chair is both inviting and attractive. A mesh back provides optimum and ergonomic comfort, due to the point synchromatic integrated mechanism which provides a wide range of reclining options with free flow and 4 position locking. Instant ergonomic adjustment is delivered to the user by simple easy touch controls with seat height and tension adjustment integrated on one side and the forward tilt and recline lock on the other. The seating range comes with options of transparent and sculptured mesh back rests in a choice of colours. The Faveo range is a complete family of seating suitable for multipurpose applications including task/operational, café, meeting, conference, training and auditorium. There are stackable 4 leg and cantilever frame chairs, swivel chairs with 5 star bases and a wide range of finishes and options including arms, frame finish, transparent and sculptured mesh castors and glides.

Piana (Public, Leisure or Workplace Furniture) is a simple yet iconic folding chair designed by David Chipperfield. The three parts of the chair rotate around a single axis and the finely engineered supporting structure and mechanism are concealed within the moulded components. The matt finish and tactile qualities of the polypropylene render the chair both comfortable and robust. It folds completely flat, is horizontally stackable and currently is available in six different colours. Mainly suitable for collective and public spaces, the chair is also suitable for private spaces.

E4000 (Public, Leisure or Workplace Furniture), designed by Lucci e Orlandini, is a new system of seats and tables for university lecture theatres. The Integrated and continuous seating and table system means that they are suitable for arranging in a straight line or curved rows, on large steps or on inclined floors. The seating system features a tip up foldaway writing table or has the option of a fixed writing table with row or seat numbering. E4000’s components are simple ensuring that it is practical, hardwearing and long lasting adapting to all teaching applications and offering technologic and multimedia functionality.
