Manifesto
Saba was founded in 1987 by Amelia Pegorin in a small town in the province of Padua.
From the very beginning, a humanistic approach to design, nurtured by a marked aesthetic sensitivity, has guided the company’s vision in creating comfortable sofas that are highly flexible and with an intriguing poetic quality that captivates the public.
Saba’s history mimics a story in which every project, like a chapter, narrates a coherent vision built on three principles:
Freedom, as a fundamental human right, which has inspired the search for flexible forms;
Poetry, guide to harmony and beauty, and the path that widens the boundaries of imagination;
Memory, witness to the value of things that endure over time.
Three words that represent our manifesto, that shape the very substance of things and give concrete form to our payoff.
“A collective embrace”
is not just a slogan, but an existential approach that has become an entrepreneurial adventure.
Freedom, poetry, and memory all refer to the idea of happiness, as true design should improve the quality of life and ultimately make people happier.
Our products accompany consumers through time, as with simple and human gestures they recreate spatial geographies, reinvent perspectives, and help people cultivate lasting relationships, eliminating the risk of quickly getting bored with what they have purchased.
And for us, this is true sustainability.
Saba is characterized by the unmistakable way it unites the form of objects with the poetry of color and the substance of fabric.
We select fabrics by envisioning sensory experiences, and although color cannot be fully explained through theory, its choice is never accidental. It is the result of careful research: the palette that comes to life each time reflects the feeling that permeates the Saba manifesto.
Finally, Saba seeks to be a reality open to contamination from art, fashion, and culture—worlds seemingly distant yet so influential in our daily lives.
The most significant collaboration so far has been with the Sardinian artist and designer Antonio Marras, whose aesthetic vocabulary reinterpreted the iconic New York chair and later inspired the Oltremare sofa, shaped after the Capocaccia promontory. It is a path of research we like to call “emotional ergonomics,” where the broad field of imagination and the rationality of function intertwine gracefully.
Saba is a company that evolves continuously, with a unique language capable of translating its mission into images and words: combining the virtues of design with the language of poetry and emotion.
The emotional campaigns stem from this perspective: projects of significant artistic value that tell stories aimed at creating a bond between place and product, in an unexpected dialogue between architecture, function, and poetry.
In October 2018, Saba became part of the Dexelance group, whose organizational model is based on working alongside companies to maximize their global potential, enhancing Italian excellence.
