Novo Wins Red Dot Product Design Award

The prestigious award is an internationally recognized seal of quality

Cypress, CA | April 3, 2017 - SitOnIt Seating®’s award-winning Novo chair has just won the 2017 Red Dot Product Design award, an internationally recognized seal of quality. This year, Red Dot received more than 5,500 submissions from 54 countries. All recipients are carefully evaluated based on scores for overall innovation, quality and functionality.

A success for SitOnIt Seating from its inception last spring, the Novo is a modern designer's dream, combining endlessly customizable features with award-winning design. Clean lines and subtly rounded corners put a contemporary twist on a classic silhouette, making the Novo versatile by design. And with 12 mesh colors, a myriad of color options for the frame, arm and lumbar support, as well as 13 lumbar accent shades to choose from, the configuration choices are limitless.
