B_WAVE SUSTAINABLE ALL-ROUNDER B_Wave is a sustainable chair that effectively combines aesthetics and comfort. The wave-shaped seat shell, which gives the chair its name, adds a light and modern subtlety to its design. The seat shell is flexible, providing ergonomic seating comfort. B_ Wave stands out for its versatile range of uses and can be adapted to suit various applications. The B_Wave visitor chair is easily adaptable. The seat
can be chosen with or without a seat pad or with full upholstery. The padded seat pad is magnetic and can be removed without tools at any time. The wooden shell seat can also be retrofitted with a seat pad later if needed, offering maximum flexibility. The cover of the seat pad can be cleaned independently and replaced if necessary.

B_WAVE SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABILITY From the specifications stage through to series production, ecological requirements are always an important factor in the development process. This includes selecting environmentally compatible materials, such as CoC-certified timbers from sustainably managed forests, using recycled materials and increasing the use of renewable raw materials. In order to guarantee a high recyclability standard for our products, we avoid composites as much as possible and develop furniture that allows for disassembly. Labelling of materials, their ability to be repaired, and a long service life for the components used, are other important requirements for product design. But the ability to disassemble and recycle the products at the end of their lives are also important criteria.
SUSTAINABLE RAW-MATERIALS At Bene, the following materials are used as a matter of course: · chipboards low in formaldehyde · glues low in formaldehyde · water-based varnish systems · recyclable materials · materials with a high recycling share · PVC-free synthetics
Bene guarantees products free from: · CMR substances · halogenated solvents in synthetics · chlorinated hydrocarbons · heavy metal pigments · materials with azo pigments · Coatings with biocidal effects (such as wood preservatives, pesticides).
CONTRIBUTION TO BUILDING CERTIFICATIONS In the context of ecological building certification, design systems such as furniture and dividing walls help to achieve a good result and a higher score. Bene's products make a contribution towards the LEED, WELL Building Standard, DGNB, BREEAM, etc. certifications. Criteria include, for example, environmental product declarations, indoor air quality, acoustics and convertibility.
