Designed to use less, yet deliver so much

Sayl side chairs can move seamlessly from conference room to work group and back again. They have been designed to take up less visual space, and the 4-leg version stacks up to four high for easy storage. Lots of options—back, base, arms, colors—join with elegant styling all at an attainable price.

Elegant anywhere

Given their wide array of classic and expressive color selections, Sayl side chairs can work with any décor. And the organic shape of the Sayl side-chair back makes it elegant anywhere, from every angle. Select a suspension back similar to the 3D Intelligent suspension back on the work chair, or a familiar upholstered back. As to base options, selections range from a 4-leg base and glides or casters, with or without arms, to a cantilever base with or without arms.

Eco-dematerialized design

Herman Miller and Yves Béhar are big on environmental responsibility in design. With Sayl, we went a step farther, starting out by thinking about what could be removed from a simple side chair. The result was a lightweight chair. Structural components are hollowed out, reducing the weight and volume of material.

Attainable quality and design

As affordable as it is inventive, Sayl disproves the notion that a reasonably priced chair means offhand design and minimal ergonomics. From the beginning, the goal was to make a high-quality, beautifully designed, comfortable work and side chairs that lived up to our standards and are also affordable. Sayl is that chair.
