»HOCH_X« standing workstation: Ecologically awarded!
The »HOCH_X« standing workstation receives the »GREEN GOOD DESIGN« award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design.
The product, consisting of a standing table, a shelf tower and a stool, is the result of cooperation between Prof. Andreas Mühlenberend (Faculty of Art and Design, Faculty of Industrial Design) and Holger Danneberg (WERKHAUS).
Prof. Mühlenberend particularly emphasises the ecological production features of the standing workstation: Greenpeace-Energy is used in the production. The standing workstation is made of sustainably grown wood from certified cultivation. Non-toxic colors free of solvents are used and a closed colour cycle contributes to waste reduction. Recycling of the product is facilitated by separable material compounds. The lightweight construction also ensures optimal use of materials and a low shipping volume. The standing workstation is shipped via CO2-neutral GoGreen shipping.
The ecological production of »HOCH_X« is intended to inspire reflection and imitation.
