Nan-‐in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-‐1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-‐in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow unLl he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!" "Like this cup," Nan-‐in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculaLons. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

to believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a very few of them. And possibly only one profession is phonier. Advertising design, in persuading people to buy things they don‘t need, with money they don’t have, in order to impress others who don‘t care, is probably the phoniest field in existence today

what would the design brief for the industrial revolution look like? design a system of production that: 1. puts billions of pounds of toxic material into the air, water and soil
2. measures prosperity by activity, not legacy 3. requires thousands of complex regulations to keep people and
natural systems from being poisoned too quickly 4. produces materials so dangerous that they will require constant
vigilance from future generations 5. results in gigantic amounts of waste 6. puts valuable materials in holes all over the planet, where they can
never be retrieved 7. erodes the diversity of biological species and cultural practices

Cradle to Cradle
10
“remake the way wemake things” thinking about the materials we use, howour products are designed and assembled, and their cyclesof use with our customers.
No matter how good your products are, there comes a timewhen their first useful life comes to an end. In considering product life cycles Cradle to Cradle asks us to re-think thecommonplace approach of “take, make & waste” and thisprompted us to act.
During the early stages of the design of Ara we established arelationship with one of Cradle to Cradle’s authors, renowned industrial chemist Micheal Braungart. Throughout the development we have been working with EPEA, Micheal’s C2C organisation based in Hamburg.
We’ve always very carefully considered the materials that we usein our products but our aim in working with EPEA is to ensurethat what we’re using is truly safe, for humans and the environment alike, and successful in technical cycles of reuse.This means looking in much more detail at every chemical ingredient in the materials we use; to determine which inhibitthis aim and need to be substituted or remove as a result.
Cradle to Cradle is an approach to design which looks to makeus truly environmentally effective, by developing products forclosed loop systems in which all the materials used are safe andbeneficial - either to biodegrade naturally or to be fully recycledinto high quality materials for subsequent product generations,again and again. In order for us to maximise the value of the materials used in your chair we’d like to get them back onceyou’ve finished with them. It’s pretty simple, all you need to dois visit our website at www.orangebox.com/endoflife.htm

Arm
support that’s there only when you need it.
Our goal w
as to design a new arm
pad that was m
ore comfortable
than ever, using materials that could be segregated easily and recycled
more effectively. The traditional PU
is replaced by a flexible polymer
with a separate insert m
ade from recycled foam
. The result is an arm
rest that’s robust, easy to use and probably the most com
fortablew
e’ve ever made.
Do som
ething really simple; m
ake the chair base 100%
r ecyclable.N
ot the most com
plicated part on a task chair, granted, but we asked
ourselves the question - some look m
uch better than others but allplastic chair bases are pretty m
uch the same, aren’t they? W
ell in onesense they are, and w
ith very few exceptions they all have a m
etal collar m
oulded into the plastic to stop the gas lift creeping throughthe base. G
reat for not dragging your chair across the carpet butnot so great w
hen you come to recycle it, as the collar can be very
difficult to remove.
Smart design and careful m
aterial selection has enabled us to createa base w
ithout a collar insert. A sim
ple point but unlike almost all
other plastic bases ours is 100% recyclable. A
nd rest assured we’ve
tested it like mad.
