What We Loved Most
This November, our reviewers spent time in the Sabbia chair both at home and at the HOK NYC office. Group consensus showed that the top qualities of the Sabbia chair is how it blends comfort with a compact look that can fit into a variety of spaces. Not compromising on comfort was greatly appreciated by the review team, lauding the chair’s ability to be stable while sitting reclined as well as the lumbar support.
comfortable and great for posture!
The chair provides back support that had our reviewers feeling relief in their lower back throughout the day as well as that their posture was being affected in a good way to be more upright. The option to lessen the lumbar is easy to find and locks nicely. The chair feels sturdy while still maintaining an appealing and professional look.
