We attach great importance to being
transparent about the materials we use
Minimise environmental impact
We ensure that all materials meet the highest standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are volatile compounds that can be emitted from materials. We use materials that are manufactured without harmful chemicals and do not release any volatile organic components during use, prioritizing the health and well-being of our customers.
Our products are designed to be
separable and repairable from the beginning.
Linoleum
Linoleum is an artificially manufactured product made primarily from renewable resources. It consists of linseed oil, cork flour, jute fabric, as well as resins, wood flour, limestone powder, and typically natural mineral pigments. Linoleum is flexible, durable, repairable, and allergy-friendly.
Moulded fleece
Formvlies is a recyclable material composed of 100 % polyester fibers. The material used by ZEITRAUM is manufactured in Germany, with 60 % of it made from recycled materials and certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. Formvlies combines a pleasant tactile experience with shape stability.
Natural paper and textile covering
The textile covering used by ZEITRAUM for the NOON lamp family is made of 75 % viscose and 25 % polyamide. The viscose fiber used is derived from natural cellulose and processed into a fabric with polyamide fibers. Afterwards, the inside of the fabric is coated with natural paper.
We continuously work on finding better solutions to continually
improve the environmental footprint of our products.
Aluminium
Since the extraction of primary aluminum is highly energy-intensive, aluminum is already extensively recycled. Depending on the electricity source, up to 95 % of the required energy can be saved during the recycling process. Aluminum can be 100 % recycled. Due to its lightweight nature and various processing possibilities, the material is ideal for manufacturing precisely fitting small parts in furniture construction.
Steel
Steel is forgeable, hard, and resistant. It has extremely high strength and offers a wide range of processing possibilities. Additionally, it can be excellently recycled. The proportion of recycled material in global steel production is approximately 40 % (in Europe, it is around 50 %).
ZEITRAUM primarily uses steel for the NOON lighting series, the VERMU table, and the OKITO series.
