Sustainability
Made to be bought once. Built to commercial standard for years of daily use and backed by a five-year warranty, so it earns its keep rather than being replaced.
A1–A3 (manufacturing): Planet Price is calculated using confirmed material mass and location data, with conservative manufacturing assumptions within the declared scope. If an A1–A3 value is not shown, detailed inputs are under verification with suppliers.
Designed for durable, repeated use, with surfaces that can be repaired and re-coated. Repurposing is the preferred end-of-use outcome. At end of life, engineered timber is recovered through wood-recycling streams for board manufacture or biomass energy; its adhesives and coatings mean it is not suitable for composting. At end of life, the covers and foam are separated for plastics recovery, or energy-from-waste where recycling is unavailable. Steel parts are recycled through standard metal recycling streams at end of life.


Care & maintenance
Looking after this piece is simple. Regular light care keeps the upholstery fresh and the frame solid for years of use.
