KOMBO Communication Furniture

KOMBO is an innovative communication furniture made from sustainable materials, offering exceptional flexibility thanks to its modular design. It consists of two acoustically shielded seating modules and a central technology module that serves as a table and is equipped with IT and lighting technology. The three modules are mobile on casters and can be fixed in place as needed.
KOMBO occupies a space of only about four square meters. It provides a space for small group discussions or a quiet retreat for focused work or relaxation.
Potential locations include offices, trade fairs, events, public spaces, schools, and more.

FLASHAAR NP-Line Radiant are mounted on the ceiling . One has a color temperature of 4000 K, and the other has a color temperature of 2700 Kelvin. This allows for switching between daylight and warm light. Printed materials can be viewed optimally and with accurate colors in daylight, while conversations can be enjoyed comfortably in warm light.

KOMBO is made entirely of sustainably valuable material:

Natural wood panels made of spruce
Rubber rings made of EPDM, a synthetic rubber
Wool felt from the company Röders, tested according to Standard 100 OEKO TEX
The foam consists of cold foam in which a large part of the conventional base material petroleum has been replaced by sunflower oil
Main Line Flax upholstery fabric. A flame-retardant fabric made from sustainable sources.
