Concept
Nava is a multi-purpose chair with a range of frame and upholstery options, making it suitable for many different uses. The flexible, ergo-nomically shaped seat shell provides a high level of comfort even when sitting for long periods.
The Nava seat shells in green, blue, red and light grey are made from 85-90% recycled polypropylene waste. Recycled seat shells are also used for fully upholstered versions. The production process starts with packaging waste that is collected in Europe and separated by recycling specialist PreZero in state-of-the-art, fully automated sorting plants and then processed into recycled plastic. An additional fibreglass is incorporated into the recycled material to give the seat shell the required stiffness.
The seat shells can be combined with frames and upholstery in matching colours or with bold contrasts.
The skid frame is available in both low and high versions, allowing Nava to be used for standing tables too. In the event area, Nava chairs can be joined together easily to form stable rows using coupling elements. There is also a caddie for stacks of up to 16 chairs to make for easier handling and save storage space. Available is also a version in full-grain leather. There are 14 colours of leather to choose from. As an extra feature, the skid-frame version of "Nava" is now also available with armrests. The standard version has oak armrests with a bright varnish; the other options are black-stained oak and walnut with a natural varnish.

After earning a degree in architecture from the University of Toronto, Tom Deacon soon decided to work as a furniture and product designer. Being a designer enabled him to experiment with materials on a smaller scale and implement his ideas directly. In 1984 he founded AREA Design and in 1990 set up an independent studio. His preferred design style is "understated", and he draws his greatest inspiration from objects of folk art and products by anonymous designers, such as Shaker furniture. After taking time out between 2001-2012 to work as an artist in sculpture, land art and garden design, he returned to product design in 2012.
