Navailles

What they make

According to their website, Navailles designs and manufactures seating for healthcare, laboratory and office settings from its factory in Hagetmau, France, where the company has operated since 1966. The range covers care chairs and rest chairs for patients, seating for practitioners, visitor chairs and footrests, laboratory chairs, technical stools, general office chairs, and a heritage furniture collection. Production runs through an in-house design office and prototyping stage (physical and 3D models), followed by sheet-metal fabrication and tube bending, manual and robotic welding of chassis, and hand-finished upholstery. The company states it selects materials through partner suppliers bound by a code of conduct on human rights and environmental protection, and recycles metal, plastic and wood waste with partner Valdélia. Furniture is described as designed for durability and repair, backed by after-sales service and spare parts. Certifications listed on the site include CE marking, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001, NF Office Excellence, NF Santé, NF Ameublement, and Origine France Garantie, obtained in 2022. The homepage displays logos of French healthcare clients including APHP, HCL, Elsan and CAPHH.
