NATURAL MATERIALS
VANK biocomposites are used to manufacture desks, shelving units, acoustic panels as well as office pods and mobile partitions finished with these materials. They are made using plant fibres such as flax and hemp, derived from renewable resources.
The use of plant fibres allows us to replace part of the materials based on fossil resources. As they grow, flax and hemp absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis to build biomass. Hemp also grows rapidly and can reach several metres in height within a single growing season.
Wood is also an organic renewable resource that absorbs carbon dioxide during the growth process. Here, the long period of growth – i.e. the process of resource production – is also significant for the ecological and climatic stability of the entire globe.
We use wood in various forms. The seat of the PEEL chairs is made of chips of wood, which minimises the loss of this natural resource in the manufacturing process. The tops of office tables, desks, and coffee tables are made of wood-based, eco-friendly SWISSCDF board. The plywood and veneer used for chairs are also wood-based products. Out of concern for forest protection, we always pay attention to the origin of the resources we use. Our suppliers are certified with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) who makes sure that wood-based resources are acquired in a sustainable manner.
