Sate chair
Designed by Dan Grabowski, the Sate chair is said to have a beautiful, modern design with flex motion that allows for continual support for users. The thin profile with clean lines makes it lightweight yet a structurally sound solution. Sate is also a stack chair, which allows for a more efficient use of space. The innovative design combined with a contemporary look make it suitable for multiple applications and a myriad of environments including corporate, healthcare, education and hospitality.
Sate utilizes a cold-rolled steel tube stock for the frame and the highest quality poly or veneer shell to provide strength and durability, says Versteel. Polyshell color options include near black, snow, cobalt, salsa, canary, lime and papaya, and all Versteel standard veneers are available. An upholstery option is available on seats for color, texture and comfort. Featuring a standard or stool height (24″ and 29″) sled base, Sate is available with or without arms, and with an optional tablet arm.
Sate easily stacks to create a clean, open environment when not in use. The chair reportedly exceeds all ANSI/BIFMA test standards. Also adhering to strict environmental standards, Sate is made from recycled contents and designed to be disassembled and recycled at end of life. The chair was designed with Design for Environment (DFE) goals and is BIFMA level 2 and Intertek VOC certified.
