Rype Zero task chair
Rype Zero task chair – highback swivel chair with 3D arms and full ergonomic adjustability.
With outstanding sustainability credentials including carbon neutrality, this is the chair for individuals and organisations with Net Zero Carbon ambitions
Description
The Rype Zero leads the way in low carbon and sustainable task chair design. Developed in collaboration with Brunel University, this chair provides extraordinary comfort and support without the environmental or financial cost that occur making chairs from virgin resources.
Colour:
Black 100% recycled polyester upholstery standard; purchaser can specify fabric and colourway required for an additional cost.
For hardwearing 100% recycled polyester fabric in the Camira Xtreme and X2 ranges the additional cost is £50+VAT per chair. See Camira Xtreme and Camira X2 for colour options.
Provenance:
The Rype Zero is a Circular Economy revolution in the office furniture industry. Its upcycled base, mechanism, shell and arms are sourced from the Orangebox G64 (originally designed by Giroflex), which won the Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) Award for Ergonomics Excellence. These parts are remanufactured using a quality-controlled engineering process to return them to as-new condition. Added to them are pads that have been redesigned for greater ergonomic comfort and up-to-date aesthetics made in the UK by one of the leading car and aircraft seat manufacturers. These are then covered in hardwearing 100% recycled polyester fabric to create the first upcycled office chair in the UK with a Net Zero Carbon footprint.

Orangebox Do task chair
Mesh back Orangebox Do HBA task chair. Black frame and mesh with white backrest upholstery plate.
For comparison, the manufacturer’s list price for the Do is £494+VAT.
Description
Mesh back Orangebox Do HBA task chair.
This is the ideal chair for flexible working offices because it automatically adjusts its support to the weight of the user without having to be set by the user. For most other chairs with this automatic adjustment (e.g. Humanscale), users have no ability to lock the back angle if required. However, these chairs come with a tilt lock mechanism already fitted (usually an upcharge), meaning its adjustability should appeal to most users.
Colour:
Black frame and mesh with white backrest upholstery plate.
Black seat upholstery standard; alternative colours and fabrics can be provided at an additional cost.
For hardwearing 100% recycled polyester fabric in the Camira Xtreme and X2 ranges the additional cost is £40+VAT per chair. See Camira Xtreme and Camira X2 for colour options.
Adjustability:
- Seat height adjustment with 76mm of range
- Seat slide
- Synchronous tilt weight balancing action with up to 20 deg of recline
- Tilt lock
- Adjustable lumbar support with 100mm of height adjustment
- Adjustable height arms with 100mm of height adjustment
- Black TPU soft touch armpad
Note that mesh backrests generally do not provide as much lower back (lumbar) support as padded backs.
Dimensions:
Weight 14.5kg
660mm wide x 660mm deep x 970mm high.
Build:
Available with or without arms and in counter height format with footring.
Grade A remanufactured by Rype Office.
1 year warranty standard, which can be extended for an additional charge.
Sustainability
Remanufacturing reduces the greenhouse gas emissions footprint from 68kgCO2e when originally produced to 14kgCO2e (an 80% saving). Rype Office will collect these chairs at the end of each life at no charge, for further remanufacturing. This is a cost saving for the owner who also avoids waste. Rype Office recommends hardwearing Camira Xtreme or X2 fabrics for seat upholstery, which are 100% recycled polyester.
