Carbon footprint
The carbon footprint stands for the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (also referred to as carbon emissions) generated throughout a product's entire life cycle. The carbon footprint is most commonly expressed in CO2 equivalents (CO2e) as a standard measure for the warming effect of all greenhouse gases.
Recycling
Following the principle of the circular economy, Vitra uses the largest amount of recycled and recyclable materials possible. This proportion will increase as a result of ongoing product development.
Material composition
Vitra uses a wide range of materials that must all withstand stringent internal and external testing procedures. If a new material is found that is better for the environment and meets Vitra's quality criteria, suitable products are executed in that material.
Packaging & logistics
Vitra uses detailed information to elaborate targeted optimisation of transport routes. Preference is given to rail transport whenever feasible, and Vitra aims for the most efficient capacity management possible when using lorries. Packaging serves to protect the product and minimise the transport volume. Packaging is reduced wherever possible and materials are optimised in terms of their impact on the environment.
Supply chain
Vitra purchases its raw materials and components almost exclusively from suppliers in Europe, which simplifies compliance with uniform statutory standards and shortens transport routes. Vitra maintains long-term relationships with many of its suppliers, some spanning several decades, which is a key advantage for the further development of products, technologies and materials.

Dancing Wall

Many companies adapt to the increasingly unpredictable changes in their markets by creating agile organisational structures. To facilitate this, they require office furnishings that can be easily reconfigured – if possible by the users themselves. Dancing Wall is a solution for these new work environments. The basic function of Dancing Wall is that of a mobile partition that can be used to flexibly divide offices into zones, while providing vertical and horizontal work space. Diverse combinations of different Dancing Walls can create varied office layouts and work situations, and be spontaneously adapted to changes in team size or room function – without renovations, without a fitter. Thanks to this modularity, Dancing Wall is perfectly in tune with the changing requirements of the modern working world. Dancing Wall consists of a metal frame that can be equipped in various configurations: as a bookshelf, TV unit, coat rack, plant wall, or as a room divider with removable magnetic whiteboards and pinboards. The design also allows for the integration of power cables and functional accessories, such as containers, hooks and covers, which can be custom specified to suit the company's needs. Clad with solid wood panels, the base of the Dancing Wall carries sufficient weight to be extremely stable despite the short length of the lateral castor extensions, while remaining easy to move around. To facilitate the storage and transport of whiteboards and pinboards, an optional trolley is also available.
