The evo concept
The dynamic development of our products
Our principle of evolution: Where can we improve?
Technological progress continuously expands our knowledge. New insights allow us to rethink what already exists. That is why we review both new and existing products for adjustments in materials, design, and manufacturing processes. If our products can be made more sustainable, we do so.

The evo innovations
Evolution through innovation – with these features.
Neuentwicklung von Material & Form
High-performance plastic shell
Ressourcenschonung durch Wiederverwendung von Materialien: Sitzschale aus 80 % - 98 % Post-Industrial-Rezyklat.
Reduction & purity of material use
Pure, recycled aluminum elements
The proportion of steel tubing and aluminum has been significantly reduced. All aluminum elements are made from 100% post-industrial recycled material – the purity of the material means it can be easily recycled.
Intelligent cushion design
No more gluing required
Integration of the padding into the cover – padding and shell are no longer glued together. Instead of foam padding, 3D mesh is used.
Revitalization & Longevity
on-site changeable covers
Refurbishment without transportation costs: Easy independent replacement of covers for cleaning or renewal possible – the furniture remains on site and can continue to be used.
