Nova is a chair with many styles. Our most popular chair family has a timeless design and is available in a wide range of variants. By choosing the seat shell, frame, seat height and upholstery, the chair can be adapted to flexible environments where people meet, work and socialise – from conference rooms and lounges to restaurants and cafés.
Nova is available as a stackable bar stool, designed for flexible spaces where people come together to work, socialise and collaborate.
A family of chairs for flexible spaces
Nova is a neat family of chairs which is available in many variants, all with the same stylish design. The clean, soft lines and the stable, slightly angled back make the chair an obvious choice for the conference room, auditorium, dining room or lounge. The chair is easy to move and stack, while simultaneously being durable and high quality. Nova can be varied in everything from seat shell, frame and seat height to fabric and armrests, to fit into different parts of the office. Nova is available with a star base, with or without tilt function, and with or without armrests. The tilt function adds extra comfort, making this version ideal for both larger offices and home workspaces.
With a wide range of options, Nova Bar is easy to adapt to any space, colour scheme and identity.
The versatile Nova family also includes a barstool in two versions – for table heights of 900 mm and 1100 mm. Nova Bar is stackable up to eight chairs regardless of height and fits just as well at high tables in restaurants and lounges as it does at kitchen islands or café spaces. Choose from a wide range of standard colours, materials, seat shells and upholstery. Would you like your chair fully upholstered in fabric, without upholstery, with a colourful sledge base or as a wooden chair with only the seat upholstered in leather? The wide variety of options lets you decide whether Nova should stand out or blend in.
Nova has a form-pressed seat shell. Choose whether you want the whole or parts of the chair upholstered – for example just the seat or the back.
Developed according to EFG’s layer-by-layer design principle, Nova is built to last and evolve. All parts are replaceable, allowing the chair to be upgraded over time. The seat shell is available in FSC®-certified wood (FSC-C009111), and a wooden Nova chair has a carbon footprint around ten times lower than a plastic alternative. Combined with wooden legs, this is a chair with an exceptionally low carbon footprint. The upholstered version is manufactured without adhesives between fabric and foam, which simplifies repairs and promotes reuse. The padding meets strict environmental criteria, and upholstery is available in fabrics certified with the EU Ecolabel. Nova is Möbelfakta-certified and available with an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration.
The chair is also available without upholstery, with a choice of frame.
The upholstered version is made without adhesives between fabric and foam, making repairs and reuse easier.
Change the chair with your choice of design
Nova has a form-pressed seat shell developed to provide comfortable support to the entire back. The seat shell is available in two back heights, normal and tall, with the tall model having a slightly rounded back. Your choice of shell sets the feeling immediately, and you can choose between seat shells in oak, variants of ash or laminate.
You can choose to upholster the whole chair or only parts of it – for example just the seat or back. Nova is available with frames in metal, customisable in different RAL colours, wood or a rotating base in plastic. The metal frame is available in a variant with a sledge base. The chair is also available in an unupholstered version, paired with any frame, and can be specified with open or closed armrests. The wealth of options available lets you shape Nova to suit your needs, preferences and interior – making it a go-to choice for those who value design, sustainability and ergonomics in one and the same product.
