Connection - Demonstrates innovation in new Eco-Chrome painting
technique
UK furniture designer and manufacturer Connection has
introduced an important new innovation - a new
Eco-chrome painting technique. Looking at all areas of
its business to go ‘greener’, Connection identified
chrome plating as a key issue.
Eco-chrome is a durable multi-layered powder coat finish
that looks like bright chrome plating but doesn’t have
the same impact on the environment as the usual chroming
process. It creates an attractive and appealing end
result. Connection aim to use the technique across the
entire collection by 2008. Traditional chrome plating is
an environmentally hazardous process which may be
subject to future changes in EU legislation.
This new development is part of a series of key
initiatives by Connection in terms of sustainable
design. In 2006, Connection introduced the EcoStartTM
task chair, the UK’s first carbon neutral office chair.
This was designed focusing on its environmental cost,
through a ‘life cycle assessment.’ The analysis took
into account a product’s materials, manufacture,
transport, use and disposal at each stage of its
development.
The EcoStartTM chair itself is 98% recyclable by weight
and 52% of the materials used in its production are
recycled. It has been made with interchangeable
upholstery pads which encourage a longer life by
enabling on-site refurbishment.
Although the chair has been developed with the
well-being of the environment in mind, Connection’s high
standards of design have not been compromised. As with
all chairs within Connection’s ranges, the greatest
attention has been paid to ensuring high levels of
ergonomics and user comfort.
Connection’s collection of furniture stems from the
philosophy of connecting and creating productive spaces.
Its approach is to provide inspirational commercial
products for interiors, and demonstrate that good design
needn’t be expensive.
“Connection’s approach is to continually invest in great
design and approaches, not only creating great looking
products but also to constantly improve the
manufacturing process, and bring the associated benefits
to our customers,” says Jonathan Hill, Managing
Director.
