Steelcase ‘Please’
Office chair, steel, alumninium, plastics (ABS, LDPE, PA, PP, POM, PU), synthetic textils
Please is a truly well-balanced phenomenon - balancing comfort and beauty, freedom of movement and total control, precision and intuitive use of the adjustment controls, manufacturing quality and environmental responsibility - we could go on!
From a sustainability angle, Please was eco-designed. It has 30% less components than its preceding model as well as being 4kg lighter. In addition, we have created a model which uses 3D Tech fabric (Steelcase patented formula) in the upholstery which increases comfort and reduces the amount of foam used in the chair.
Please is also accompanied by an Environmental Product Declaration (ISO14025) This is the first declaration of its kind awarded to office furniture and no other manufacturer in our field has certification of such a high standard.
Finally, it is highly recyclable (99.1%) and has been manufactured in a responsible location; our plant in Sarrebourg, France which is ISO14001 compliant.'
