IVARS S.P.A. COMPONENTS: VERSATILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY PAR EXCELLENCE
In 2023, Ivars S.p.A. presented numerous components, continuing its tradition of delivering top-notch quality and unparalleled versatility of use. The Vestone-based company created new products tailored to diverse needs in the sector of office components.
Starting with Pasha, an innovative chair designed to meet the needs of Executive and Directional office spaces, with comfort as its main feature. Pasha is dedicated to exceptional seating standards; it surpasses being a mere chair, becoming an integral component that truly sets the standard apart. The innovative character of Pasha lies in the design of the underseat: a special housing partly conceals the mechanism to be attached to the seat, resulting in a lighter aesthetic impact while ensuring optimal design and functionality. The ability to upholster the underseat with any type of fabric offers elevated elegance and matching possibilities, also thanks to a cleverly designed additional frame that ensures upholstery fixings are hidden. Pasha is available in a black finish and its large and generous dimensions ensure maximum comfort.
In terms of mechanisms, 2023 introduced the A20, a Synchron self-weighing mechanism that also comes with a sideshift function. It provides 70 mm of travel and is equipped with compression springs for smooth and stable movement. Its compact design ensures compatibility with a wide range of seating solutions. This versatility allows customers to assemble the chair as they prefer, achieving maximum customisation and originality.
Two types of armrests were also introduced during the year: the first was the Shuttle range, offering Italian-made armrests available in three versions: 1D, 2D and 3D, depending on movement. Shuttle is inclined and suits all types of office requirements. The result of a research and innovation project conducted by the Ivars R&D Team, it emerges as a stylish product characterised by a sleek and linear design. Available in a classic black nylon finish, Shuttle offers multiple benefits, including a comfortable soft pad, and can be used with the IB02 and IB02A brackets for easy lateral adjustment in the 4D version.
Anchor is another armrest with an exclusive and innovative design. It is made entirely of aluminium and has a sleek and linear appearance. It can be assembled in either direction and is suitable for completing high-end chairs, such as the executive chair of the same name. Anchor represents Ivars' top-level offer, a distinctive and refined product.
In the sector of seating bases, Ivars introduced Qatar, featuring slender and elegant spokes and available in two variations: a 4-spoke ø700 version tailored for Contract settings, marking a significant departure from traditional aluminium bases, and a 5-spoke ø720 version designed for Office settings. Qatar's sleek lines strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. The 4-spoke version is constructed entirely from nylon and is suitable for contract seating, soft seating and armchairs. This same style extends to the 5-spoke version, the first base with a diameter of 720 mm that is practical and functional in situations where seating stability is fundamental.
Lastly, one of the most interesting new releases of 2023 was Unique, the all-plastic jacket holder compatible with the majority of Ivars chairs. Its special adaptor allows it to be mounted on backrests with headrests, adding a touch of style to the overall look of the chair. Characterised by a minimalist design, Unique is versatile enough to use in both classic and modern settings, as well as on different types of seats.
All the latest components introduced by Ivars mark a moment of immense creativity for the Vestone-based company, hinting at a new year brimming with innovative furnishing ideas, proposals and solutions. Ivars never stops, propelled by the same passion and enthusiasm that has characterised its journey thus far. Looking ahead to 2024, Ivars eagerly anticipates introducing lots of new products.
