Collaborating with McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), the Think chair is the first product to ever receive Cradle to Cradle Product Certification from MBDC, indicating low human and environmental health impact throughout its lifecycle.
Reduce size and weight: Weighing in at 32 pounds, the Think chair weighs less than many comparable chairs.
Optimize manufacturing processes: Designed to be made with minimal waste, energy consumption and environmental impact, the Think chair is manufactured close to the end customers in Europe, North America, and Asia and can be assembled without ahessives.
Design for upgradeability: Designed to accept optional accessories including an adjustable headrest and lumbar support provides the chair with an opportunity to be upgraded instead of replaced.
Create durable and high quality designs: Carefully thought-out and beautifully designed, the Think chair incorporates many ergonomic features to maximize comfort and customer retention. Easily repaired, tested for up to 300 lbs, and backed by the Steelcase North America Lifetime Warranty minimizes the frequency that the chair is discarded or replaced.
Make it modular: Disassemblable in about 5 minutes with ordinary hand tools allows the Think chair to be easily upgraded, repaired, and at the end of its life, separated for recycling.
Use recycled, recyclable, renewable, and biodegradable materials: The chair is constructed of acetal, aluminum, nylon, PET, PU, PP, steel, and zinc. Manufactured with up to 41-44% recycled materials, 98-99% of the Think chair is recyclable (by weight). Parts weighing more than 5 Kg are clearly labeled for recycling.
