Explore Navo® ergonomic chairs, desks and tables built for comfort and designed for performance
The chair you sit in during work hours directly affects your posture, comfort, and daily productivity. As a core piece of office furniture, an office chair with poor support leads to fatigue, back pain, and reduced focus, especially when sitting or working continuously through long hybrid schedules.
On the other hand, a well-designed office chair counters these problems by aligning the spine, reducing pressure on the lower back, and allowing the body to move naturally throughout the day. This guide brings clarity to that choice. Below, we compare the top 5 Navo® office chairs designed for UAE professionals.Take me to

The Jobs Where Workers Spend the Most Time Sitting
Software developers and data entry keyers have the highest possible sitting rating.
Our analysis of occupational data reveals the jobs with the highest sitting requirements, with software developers and data entry keyers at the top of the ranking.
How much of the working day do different jobs require employees to spend sitting?
For some occupations, sitting is closely connected to how the work is performed. Writing code, entering data, reviewing financial information and preparing legal documents can all involve long periods at a workstation.
To identify the occupations with the highest sitting requirements, NAVO analyzed occupational data from O*NET OnLine, a public database developed by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The analysis reveals a sharp divide between occupations where sitting is a major part of the job and those where standing and movement are much more prominent.
Software developers and data entry keyers recorded the highest possible O*NET sitting rating of 100, meaning sitting is required "continually or almost continually" in these occupations. Financial managers followed with a rating of 94, while lawyers recorded 93.
Seven of the 18 occupations analyzed recorded a sitting rating of 75 or higher, placing them in NAVO's high-sitting category.
At the other end of the spectrum, construction laborers recorded a sitting rating of 0, showing how much sitting requirements can vary between occupations.
Key findings
*Software Developers and Data Entry Keyers recorded the highest possible sitting rating of 100.
*Financial Managers recorded a sitting rating of 94.
*Lawyers recorded a sitting rating of 93.
*Seven of the 18 occupations analyzed recorded a sitting rating of 75 or higher.
*Customer Service Representatives recorded a sitting rating of 78.
*Registered Nurses had the lowest sitting rating in the top 10, at 47.
*Construction Laborers recorded the lowest sitting rating across the occupations analyzed, at 0.
*The difference between the highest and lowest sitting ratings was 100 points.

How to Plan an Office Fit-Out: A UAE Business Guide
Two kinds of businesses plan a UAE office fit-out. The first kind moves quickly and skips the permit step. Then, it gets a stop-work notice from Dubai Municipality two weeks later. In the end, it spends more to fix the issue than the permit would have cost. The second type views the fit-out as a business choice. It’s sequenced, budgeted, and planned before any contractor arrives on site.
The difference isn't budget or size. It's knowing the sequence before you start.
We've been specifying and supplying office furniture across UAE and GCC fit-out projects since 2019. This is how a well-run project flows — and where most go wrong.

Office Furniture and Workspace Planning in UAE: The Complete Guide
Walk into most Dubai offices built before 2022, and you'll find the same setup. A grid of fixed 75cm desks. Chairs that look ergonomic but don't adjust properly. A meeting room perpetually booked. No acoustic separation. A team making it work despite the furniture, not because of it.
The workspace was planned once - on move-in day - and never revisited. That's not workspace planning. That's furniture procurement followed by years of accumulated workarounds.
This guide approaches it differently. Workspace planning is an ongoing business decision, not a one-time purchase. The questions it answers shift with your team, as hybrid work changes space use. Also, as we learn more about what boosts productivity, the answers evolve. We've been supplying and specifying office furniture across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman since 2019. What follows is what we've learned from installations that worked - and the decisions that made the difference.
