Stylex

Founded in 1956 by the Golden Family, Stylex originated to answer a need “for more refined seating.” Still run by Bruce and John Golden, Stylex continues to operate according to its founding vision to “rapidly refine the aesthetics, performance, value, and service that create truly engaging products.”

• Avo Multi-Purpose Chair— A multi-use chair with a graceful wave form, Avo’s refined aesthetic belies superior comfort and functionality. Stackable up to twelve high, Avo features a comfortable molded plywood seat that seamlessly integrates with the frame: all fasteners are hidden. The design of Komplot, Avo is available in seven standard colors, from dark and luscious black cherry to light and supple honey maple. With or without arms, Avo is also available in counter and bar height stools.
• Mark 2 Chair— A lounge chair created by Mark Goetz, Mark 2 offers two options: a stackable, armless chair and a non-stacking armchair. This modern guest seating is characterized by “clean, rectilinear lines and thoughtful attention to detail.” Mark 2 comes with an upholstered seat and a choice of upholstered or wood back. Frames are crafted of 16-gauge steel tubing finished in chrome, satin chrome, or powder coat finish. The stacking armless version is two inches narrower, allowing Mark 2 to fit in smaller spaces. Mark 2 showcases the simple, classic forms and matchless functionality Stylex is known for.
• SAVA Task and Conference Chair— Designed by architect Sava Cvek, Sava is a swivel chair available in upholstery or mesh. Stylex believes “there is sitting in a chair and then there is something more”—that something more is Sava. A task chair with a streamlined design and excellent ergonomics, Sava features groundbreaking balanced tilt control and a supremely responsive ride. Based on decades of research, Sava offers excellent user functionality and comfort: a flexible seat pan with forward-pivot back movement, visible seat controls, adjustable seat depth, optional lumbar support, and adjustable arms. With a classic profile, Sava is not faddish. Its clean lines and elegant finishes make Sava a great chair for a variety of spaces, from conference room to executive office.

Besides researching the characteristics of good seating, Stylex believes in creating sustainable products. The company uses hardwood veneers, a material that provides “high-yield use of a renewable resource” and efficient raw material content. Stylex also uses injection-molded plastic, since it affords no material waste, as well as no chemical by-products or off-gassing in production. Furthermore, Stylex products are designed to last, as proven by their standard 10-year warranty.
