Sesta | Top-quality Chairs

What Sesta | Top-quality Chairs does

Sesta SRL is an Italian private limited company (SRL) headquartered in Cornegliano Laudense, Lombardy, that designs and manufactures office and community seating. Founded in 1983 and operating with approximately 27 employees, the company sells a portfolio organized into three collections — Design Collection (premium executive and task chairs including Modà, Jada, Dama), Blog Concept (modular seating, partitions, bookcases, and desks for Smart Office environments), and UNI Collection (functional lounge and waiting solutions) — plus a Home Office and a Quick Service line. Core technology centers on materials engineering: 65% recycled polypropylene shells, FSC-certified wood, Certipur-certified foam, OEKO-Tex fabrics, and fire-retardant formulations meeting Italian CL1/ITA classifications, with product series tested to UNI EN 16139, UNI EN 1335, and ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 standards.

The business model is B2B project-based: products are sold via a reserved-area portal on sesta.it, downloadable catalogs, and direct contact (phone and inquiry forms), with pricing handled by quote and minimum order quantities for custom specifications. Revenue is one-time hardware sales to corporate offices, educational institutions, public administration (leveraging CAM and fire-safety compliance), community spaces, and hospitality. The company has maintained long-term design collaborations with Studio Omega (Giovanni Baccolini, since 1996), Alessio Pozzoli (since 1999), and Favaretto & Partners (since 2012), and its flagship Carina series has produced approximately 30,000 units annually since 1999 to anchor international recognition. Sesta is founder-owned, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries identified in the source data.
