Meet the world’s most environmentally conscious chair

Takt tracked the environmental footprint of its Cross Chair, from inception to delivery.

The Cross Chair from Danish furniture brand Takt may be the most environmentally conscious chair in the world. In an industry first, the wooden chair has undergone an exhaustive life-cycle analysis to determine its environmental impact. Measuring common aspects like the carbon footprint of its materials and transportation as well as things like its land use, ozone depletion, and freshwater ecotoxicity, the analysis is a borderline-obsessive look at what impact a chair has on the world, and could lead to more sustainable furniture in the future.
