Engelbrechts has changed the chrome on all frames in the CHAIRIK range designed by Erik Magnussen from traditional chrome (CrO6) to a more environmentally friendly chrome (CrO3).
"CrO3 is also called 'green chrome'. Not because it looks green, but because this type of chrome is not carcinogenic.
CrO3 has a different atomic structure, which prevents the atoms from penetrating human skin and causing allergic reactions.
This is a big advantage, particularly in terms of production.
Only a few furniture manufacturers in the world currently use CrO3, but we're convinced that it will become the industry standard very soon", commented Engelbrechts' Managing Director Peter Mahler Sorensen.
The change does not affect the frame's strength and thickness, but compared to CrO6, CrO3 chrome slightly improves the finish of the surface.
Despite the higher cost of the improved chrome, prices on all CHAIRIK chairs will stay the same.
