From its elegantly simple FSC-certified ash frame, to its distinctive bio-based foam seat, Dais (pronounced Day-is) proves that function, comfort, and sustainability can coexist in harmony. Designed to use as few materials as possible, Dais provides a design-forward, sustainable seating solution for common areas, office lounges, lobbies and more. Both relaxed and supportive, Dais is certified carbon neutral and constructed without the use of fossil-based materials, offering designers with a seating option that is equally as beautiful as it is beneficial to our planet.

One of Dais’ standout design features is its sculptural bent plywood structure. Artfully designed with precision and ergonomic vision, this striking single piece wraps around the user, doubling as both the armrests and the backrest. The unique, organic aesthetic of the shaped wood provides an artistic, visual flair and is a core design highlight. The width of Dais’ arms were purposefully designed to double as both a place to rest and a modified work station, large enough to accommodate note-taking or resting a beverage, phone, or laptop. Additionally, the curvature of Dais’ legs matches the curvature of the chair’s arm corners, creating a clean, continuous profile from arm to floor. Rounding out this design is Dais’ generously thick seat cushion, whose outer edges are lined with a sophisticated piping detail.

Dais is certified carbon neutral. We took every possible step to reduce carbon emissions, from sustainably sourcing materials and responsible manufacturing to a carefully planned end-of-life and recyclability plan, all verified by third parties. To eliminate any remaining carbon created during the manufacturing process of this product, we invest in third-party-verified, carbon-offset projects.

From its inception, Dais was designed with the well-being of the environment in mind. In addition to being a third-party-certified, carbon-neutral product, Dais reduces the amount of materials required for production by integrating structural parts into the chair’s design. Dais is constructed with FSC-certified wood, contributing to sustainable forestry practices and ensuring a positive environmental impact. Dais is shipped from facilities that contribute zero waste to landfill and which offset 100% of electricity use with renewable energy credits. Dais carries BIFMA LEVEL 3 and SCS Global Services certifications for indoor air quality at the Indoor Advantage Gold level.
