Sax Executive Chair from Krost

For many designers and architects, the chair is considered the pinnacle of design. More than a functional piece of furniture, they’re covetable design objects. When thinking about some of the most iconic product designs across the decades, chairs are resolutely in the top ten. The Sax Executive Chair from Krost takes recognisable cues from mid-century icons or modernist designers like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Florence Knoll.

With its sleek, refined lines, high-quality slim fitted leather upholstery and chrome finish, the Sax will support you throughout your workday and make you feel like you know exactly what you’re doing. A good-looking functional chair that means business.
