Akaba

Kabi means "nest" in our Basque language. Just sit on this chair and you'll see why it gets its name. It's that place that coddles you, protects you and makes you feel good. It doesn't take much to make you feel this comfortable. That's the key to the small pleasures. And that's the key to Kabi: maximum sensations with minimum resources. Kabi is a complete range of chairs designed around a polypropylene shell. A subtly flexible back allows each user to sit comfortably, to create their nest, to feel at home. Total well-being with a timeless image fully customizable with fabric or leather upholstery. The colours customize the seat, the structure and the legs. Kabi is highly versatile and functions well for widely differing spaces and uses. You may find your nest in a restaurant or bar, perhaps as the basic chair with no armrests. It can also come with a swivelling aluminium base or with multilaminate wooden legs, ideal for offices or hotels. The bases with or without castors and the two heights multiply the possibilities of their use. Although Kabi has discreet elegance as its essence, it can also stand out for its colour. We have a Kabi for every space and every person. We can help you to create your own Kabi; we adapt to your needs.
