Mark David | EcoChic Collection

EcoChic Collection

Made in the USA

The EcoChic Collection Our new collection of five ultra-green chairs makes more than just a stunning statement – it makes a difference. These chairs are manufactured using locally produced, sustainable materials and products that do not emit harmful gases.

In fact, care has been taken through every step of the design and manufacturing process to ensure that we provide only healthy, environmentally supportive furnishings for the hospitality industry.

Since we designed our EcoChic chairs to meet the highest clean air standards — using local woods, green fabrics and shipping that minimizes waste — and we’ve ensured that they are certified by Energy & Environmental Solutions, that means these chairs are ideal for designers and hotels interested in demonstrating their commitment to a greener community and planet.

What is a “green� product?

Green or sustainable products have a better impact on human health and the environment than other products that perform a similar function.

The design and manufacturing of the EcoChic Collection has been reviewed, by a well-respected third party, through the hospitality sustainability lens to identify how these new chairs can positively impact the guest experience and overall satisfaction with the property.

Our design and manufacturing processes and procedures allow us to redefine the indoor air quality of hospitality furnishings — a key element currently being demanded by consumers.

We can therefore make the following key claims, which align perfectly with consumer demands:

Solar Energy The EcoChic Collection is manufactured in North Carolina at the Mark David factory. The recent installation of an 89.6 kilowatts solar array now provides approximately 40% of the power for the plant.

Today, one third of all new non-residential construction is green. In five years, this is expected to triple, and will represent $120 billion to $145 billion in new construction.

Materials Wood The two types of woods used to manufacture the EcoChic chairs are sustainably harvested from North Carolina’s hardwood forests.

These woods are also certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Foam Hi-density foam cushions are a staple of the EcoChic Collection. To ensure that we meet and exceed consumers’ demands for clean-air interiors, as well as minimize our carbon footprint, we purchase all foam from a local North Carolina company that manufactures clean and healthy foams.

The EcoChic Collection of chairs were designed by Michael Wolk.

We are proud to say that our foam is in compliance with CertiPUR-US® requirements. The foam has been thoroughly tested for VOC off-gassing and chemical breakdown. It is also certified to be free of ozone-depleting CFCs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) fire retardants, lead and mercury.

Fabric The fabrics selected for the EcoChic Collection are not only beautiful, but also sustainable. They contain recycled textiles and fibers made from Tencel+Plus™ Lyocell — which is manufactured from FSC Certified Eucalyptus leaves. All of these fabrics currently exceed ACT standards for durability, as well as flame and stain resistance.

Additional fabrics used during the manufacturing process include recycled polyester for the batting and recycled denim for all under seat cushions.

Adhesive The primary adhesive used in the production of our green chairs is not known to have any toxic properties from exposure or outgas issues.

Finish All stains and finishes are Greenguard Certified.
