Furthermore, what’s cool about Keilhauer is that third party certifications ensure their commitment to both sustainability and worker wellness. Their products are certified SCS Indoor Advantage Gold and BIFMA Level 2, which are certifications for indoor air quality and furniture sustainability.
For example, the Epix 76270 chair breaks down those certifications and additionally lists the recycled and recyclable content of the product. It is made up of 36.24% recycled materials, and 68.72% of the product can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle. The manufacturer even has a guide on how to break down the chairs for recycling to ensure that happens. The recycled materials were sourced with LEED BPDO Sourcing of Raw Materials Certification.
That’s all a lot to keep track of, but it tells you the level of attention the designers are paying to making sure their full line of products are sustainable and comfortable to use. The felt line of chairs run about $980 apiece and complement most office décor.
