Eden Office are committed to the promotion of environmental sustainability.
Spectrum is our original ergonomic task chair range. Now over 30 years in the market and supported with a 15-year warranty, it’s designed to last and designed to be sustainable.
In May 2023 the Spectrum range was certified to Toitū net carbonzero.
Toitū Envirocare's net carbonzero certification requires that the Spectrum chair’s lifecycle carbon emissions are measured and in line with international standard
ISO 14067; that emissions intensity is managed and reduced in accordance with Toitū requirements; and that remaining cradle-to-grave emissions are compensated for following Toitū requirements.
Simply put, Spectrum has a super-light carbon footprint and we’re committed to ensuring it gives more than it takes from our planet.
We believe Spectrum is the most environmentally-positive new chair purchase you can make – yet another reason for it to be New Zealand’s favourite office chair!
WHY IS SPECTRUM A FAVOURITE?
When Eden introduced Spectrum in the early 1990s, its uniquely contoured powerful lumbar support
and distinctive shaped seat set it apart from every other task chair on the market. Its support, comfort,
and personalised adjustability meant it became quickly a firm favourite with computer-users and
widely recommended by health professionals.
..
Spectrum’s uniquely contoured backrest is constructed of complex foam layering, and is designed to provide unparalleled lower back support. It encourages positive posture like no other chair that we know of.
It's been said, you can’t slouch in a Spectrum.
Spectrum has a distinctly contoured sit-in seat shape. The ergonomically contoured timber seat base, with high-resilience moulded seat foam, provides an initial soft feel sit, and continues to support you as you work.
This highly-crafted upholstery and the full range of ergonomic adjustments mean Spectrum can provide true all-day seated comfort.
Thousands of New Zealanders have sat on Spectrum chairs in the last 30 years. Many of them now say they never want to sit on anything else.
...
Spectrum chairs are produced in New Zealand of local and imported components, and are made to order in our Auckland factory. We stock a range of standard fabrics and operate lean manufacture systems to allow very fast delivery leadtimes.

THE 3-LEVER MECHANISM – FOR PERSONALISED COMFORT

REFURBISH, REPAIR, AND RECYCLE
Spectrum chairs are designed to last a long time, to be easily refurbished and repaired,
and to be recycled at the end of their lifetime.
We want you to enjoy your Spectrum chair for a long time, so we make warranty repairs easy. Spectrum is covered by a 15-year warranty. All chair parts and components are able to be easily replaced, so the life of the whole chair is extended. Most warranty repairs will need to take place at our factory but we can arrange freight within New Zealand. In some instances our service team may be able to undertake some repairs on site at your premises. See more on our warranty terms here. |

Our refurbishment service offers an economical and environmentally-positive way to breathe new life into your chairs. If your chair is looking tired or if you’re wanting a colour refresh in the office, talk to us about how reupholstery and refurbishment of your Spectrum chairs can be a smart alternative to buying new. |

When your Spectrum chair has reached the end of its life or you no longer need it, we can take it back and recycle or repurpose it. If your chair is not in mechanically good working condition we will dis-assemble and recycle as much of it as possible. We are able to recycle approximately 80% of the Spectrum chair. All the plastic and metal parts can be recycled and some of the upholstered parts can be reused. If the chair is in good working condition, we will clean, service, and reupholster the chair as necessary, and donate to charity or a second-hand furniture reseller. |
