NO ELECTRIC - USING NO ELECTRICITY MEANS GENERATING NO CO2.
The healthy and circular workplace with the lowest CO2 was launched by TRIBOO in early 2020. A circular alternative to traditional workstations equipped with solid desktops and acoustic desk screens that are often not acoustic at all. TRIBOO is now expanding its range of circular workstations for the office and home with the NO ELECTRIC, a height adjustable SIT STA workstation but without power.
The NO ELECTRIC workstation was developed with this in mind. By means of an innovative mechanism, an electric motor is no longer required to facilitate the 70 to 120 cm high/low function. The mechanism contains a pre-tensioned spring in combination with a counterweight. You no longer have to wait for the desk to reach the right height by pressing a button. By pressing a simple handle, the desktop moves in a balanced way to the right working height in a fraction of a second. In this way, comfort and ultimate ease of use are combined without using electricity.
No power means no costs for energy, the calculation is quite simple. Another additional financial advantage is that the infrastructure for the workstation can be equipped more easily. The costs of furnishing a workplace can therefore be reduced considerably.
In addition, fewer cables mean that the workstation is no longer cabled to the floor. The flexibility of the workstation is thus easily retained. The workplace becomes safer and easier to keep clean.
An innovative frame without an innovative work surface is not an innovative workstation. That's why the NO ELECTRIC workstation is equipped with a lightweight and circular #GREENGRIDZ desktop. #GREENGRIDZ is a healthy and circular furniture construction panel made in the Netherlands. The construction of the lightweight panel consists of a patented GRID system. This makes the panel super stiff, does not warp and is very strong.
The innovative GRID requires between 60 and 90% less raw materials, depending on the thickness of the panel, and the CO2 emissions during production are 60% lower than for traditional solid furniture panels such as chipboard, MDF and plywood. #GREENGRIDZ makes an important contribution to a healthy living environment. It is CARB2-certified and meets the highest requirements when it comes to volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde. The panel is an adapter, storage medium and logistical carrier of raw materials and CO2. It can be assembled from various upcycled waste flows of natural cellulose fibres.
If there is a need for sound absorption in the workplace, the workplace can be expanded with the EverUse acoustic desk screen. EverUse is the circular acoustic insulation material which is made from paper and cardboard waste. Because the circular product is upcycled from waste instead of newly extracted raw materials, it has a negative CO2 footprint and stores CO2 in the construction in which it is incorporated. The natural cellulose fibers are gentle on the skin and not harmful to the respiratory system. It does not contain harmful fibers or toxic substances such as formaldehyde and ink. This makes it possible to create healthy acoustic furniture applications that contribute to a healthy and responsible environment. EverUse is the world's first circular insulation material with Cradle to Cradle certification.
EverUse makes a valuable contribution to the realisation of acoustic comfort. Absorbing, when it comes to noise nuisance from reflections and reducing the reverberation time. Isolating, when it comes to shielding a room from sound from outside to inside or vice versa. Thanks to its woolly structure and springy mass, sound is very well absorbed at both high and low frequencies. The frequency range where EverUse excels above all other acoustic materials is that of the voice. This is often the cause of nuisance in open-plan offices. With a board of 4cm thickness, the absorption is 100%. Specifications, properties and official tests have been carried out by Cauberg Huygen to substantiate this best in class performance and A rating.
