Responding to Environmental Concerns

A fundamental objective of the Horizon design brief was to create a more sustainable office chair whilst reducing the environmental impact of its manufacture. To this end the Horizon chair, upholstered in one of Camira’s Second Nature fabrics, is 99% recyclable and uses up to 49% recycled material in its construction. To add considerably to the chair’s lifespan, the upholstery has been engineered to enable its easy and economical replacement. The Horizon Task chairs have passed the rigorous BS5459 strength and stability standard for office chairs and all the components will be serviceable beyond our standard 5 year guarantee period.

At Summit Chairs we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and working towards a sustainable future. We only source materials from suppliers who share this outlook. We have attained the UKAS accredited, ISO14001 Environmental Management Standard and we are also full members of FIRA’s Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme. This programme has been designed specifically for the furniture industry and requires us to meet far more stringent and wide ranging levels of environmental accountability than those set out by ISO14001.
