Environmental

Considerations

Give back to nature

To contribute to the balance of the global ecosystem, Innovation Living

plants more than 10.000 new trees every year to compensate for our

consumption of wood.

Detachable covers

As it offer obvious benefits, a growing part of our collection comes

with detachable and washable covers. The sofa is easy to maintain

as covers can be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius. Upholstery

can be replaced if it is worn out, or if you want to freshen up your

sofa. Instead of replacing the entire sofa, this will create a significantly

smaller impact on the environment.

Products available with detachable covers:

Aslak, Balder, Colpus, Conlix, Conlix Patchwork, Fraction, Idun, Junus,

Merga, Mimer, Minimum, Multifunctionals Patchwork, Narvi, Newilla,

Newilla with lounger, Pascala, Pauke, Puri, Rollo, Soft Peak, Triangular,

Trym and Yonata.

Fabrics

As not all designs are suitable for removable covers, the durability

of the fabric and ease of cleaning become crucial for the longevity

of each design. All fabrics are highly durable and upgraded by

adding backsides to strengthen them even further. All fabrics can

withstand washing at 30 degrees Celsius, which means that products

can withstand wet cleaning. Finally, most of our fabrics are OEKO-

TEX® Standard 100 certified, signifying that they are free of harmful

substances.

Recycled fabrics

The supply of fabrics made from recycled fibers is fortunately

constantly increasing. More than 1/3 of our quality fabrics are made

from recycled polyester which can for instance be recycled plastic

bottles. Please look for Bouclé, Vivus and Argus fabrics - see page

163.

Lower CO

2

footprint

Since 1989, all our products have been designed for flat packing,

which minimizes CO

2

emissions during transportation and storage. We

continuously work to reduce the environmental impact of our activities,

and you can read more about our specific initiatives on our website.

Although we are not CO

2

neutral, we are committed to minimizing our

CO

2

footprint.

Maintain and refresh

Designing for flat packing means creating a set of parts that easily

combine into a full product. The complexity and number of parts

vary from product to product, but the design strategy allows for easy

replacement of components to prolong a product’s life cycle - whether

it is to replace a worn-out part or refresh product’s appearance.

Disassembly and recycling

In our design process, we focus on the ability to disassemble our

products and materials after their life cycle ends. We carefully

consider which materials to use, how to combine them, and how to

separate them into individual parts for recycling. Each design presents

a unique challenge, and some are more suitable for disassembly than

others, but the ECO-dimension is always an integral part of our design

philosophy.

Durability | 5 years warranty

Quality and durability are at the center of our design and production

process. We offer a 5 year warranty on all designs and a lifetime

warranty on slats and gears for all sofa beds in our Multifunctionals

category. For further information about our warranty, please visit our

website.

Certified production facilities

We engage in the development of local communities to contribute

to a better tomorrow in the areas we operate in. To ensure ongoing

improvement, our production facilities undergo continuous audits to

confirm that our group values and working conditions are upheld, as

outlined by third-party standards such as the amfori BSCI Code of

Conduct. In addition our production units are also FSC®-certified.
