Ecinoks

Designer : Éric Carrère

EC-Inoks was inspired from initial concept to final realization by strict methods of conception and design, featuring recyclable materials with a low carbon footprint, optimal weight/performance ratio, and ecological monitoring of the production and distribution processes, and possibilities for clean and environmentally friendly disposal.

Structure
The basic structure of the collection is made with 304 stainless all surface ferrous particles and ensures increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion, chemical agents and salt spray. The minor accessories (skids, arms) are mineral filled polyamide, 90% recycled.

Comfort
The self-supporting canvas of the seats and backs are made of natural hemp fibre Batyline® Canatex, a material which absorbs atmospheric CO2, helping to reduce the greenhouse effect. The fibre surface has been especially treated against UV radiation and is fire-retardant. Hemp fibre is factory-recyclable.

Tabletop
All table tops are of tempered 10mm recyclable glass, with anti-UV enamel. Tempering increases the shock resistance of the glass by a factor of 5; if broken, the glass crumbles harmlessly into 1 cm2 pieces.
