Danko Design Green Belt Arm Chair

This group moves classic modern styling closer into the realm of sustainable design. The basket woven belts will last many years and are visually stunning because the belt fibers create a moir� effect.

The belting is not only comfortable and a recycled material, it is an alternative for the environmentally problematic urethane foam seat suspension.
Wood is European beech sustainably sourced from FSC certified forests; adhesives and finishes are non-toxic and water based. The side chair is available with an optional angle brace for heavy duty commercial applications.
Suitable for all residential and contract applications. Chair qualifies for LEED points.

Danko Design

Danko's mission is to transform the public's concept of what furniture can be, by demonstrating a deeper understanding of beauty, using environmentally friendly materials, all within an affordable envelope.

The furniture designed by Danko is largely Ply-bent, a relatively new medium whose aesthetics have been explored by a mere handful of designers. They are developing a new vocabulary of shapes, forms and techniques using lamination layers as decorative elements. Ply-bent furniture is the perfect sustainable material because veneer yields 8-10 times more usable wood from a log than solid lumber. Our furniture is made using non-toxic water based adhesives, and we use recycled materials for seat suspension and padding. Our furniture is simple, sophisticated, and unpretentious.

All of Danko's products use the most ecologically-sound materials and processes available. Finishes are water-based, have low output of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), their adhesives are cross-linking PVAs, and when belted they use recycled straps.

Formaldehyde in Pressed Wood Products
In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins.

What’s a “Pressed wood product”?

1. particleboard (used as sub-flooring and shelving and in cabinetry and furniture);

2. hardwood plywood paneling (used for decorative wall covering and used in cabinets and furniture);

3. medium density fiberboard (used for drawer fronts, cabinets, and furniture tops). Medium density fiberboard contains a higher resin-to-wood ratio than any other UF pressed wood product and is generally recognized as being the highest formaldehyde-emitting pressed wood product.
