NATURAL MATERIALS
At VANK, the natural material used to finish acoustic pods, walls, desk walls, and office cabinets is a biocomposite based on fibrous plants. Resources of biological origin absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during the phase of quick growth. Then, the gas in the plants is transformed into biomass with the use of the accumulated energy. Fibre offers excellent insulation and sound absorption. By using various amounts of different fibre species, we can manipulate the shades of natural beige. We can shape the panels an infinite number of ways.
Wood is also an organic renewable resource that absorbs carbon dioxide during the growth process. Here, the long period of growth – i.e. the process of resource production – is also significant for the ecological and climatic stability of the entire globe.
We use wood in various forms. The seat of the PEEL chairs is made of chips of wood, which minimises the loss of this natural resource in the manufacturing process. The tops of office tables, desks, and coffee tables are made of wood-based, eco-friendly SWISSCDF board. The plywood and veneer used for chairs are also wood-based products. Out of concern for forest protection, we always pay attention to the origin of the resources we use. Our suppliers are certified with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) who makes sure that wood-based resources are acquired in a sustainable manner.
