Trade terms for professionals and design studios
Most product pages say «sustainable». The E-Place page on the DVO site does something rarer: it lists the LEED credits the collection contributes to, by code. EAP2, EAC2, MRC3, MRC5, EQC2, EQC4 and ID1, with the greenITop reference beside them. For an architect chasing a certification on a London fit-out, those seven codes are the difference between a logo and a line that can be entered in the scorecard.
Underneath the paperwork sits a plain, well-built system of operative desks for the office designed by Gianantonio Perin and Giorgio Topan. A 25 mm (1 in) melamine top with a 2 mm (0.08 in) ABS edge rests on two trestle legs in epoxy-coated steel, 74 cm (29.1 in) high, in widths from 80 to 200 cm (31.5 to 78.7 in). The same frame carries in-line desks, a return on a supporting pedestal, bench desking in three depths with or without a central cable rail, a low service unit to hang the desk on, a 90° curved link and meeting tables, rectangular, square or round, with radiused corners. GREENGUARD, CARB Phase 2, FSC, WELL v2, FEMB Level 3 and UNI EN 527 complete the declared list.
La Mercanti sends the E-Place quotation with the certification documents already attached, downloaded from DVO's own product page and filed under the credit each one supports, so the sustainability consultant can enter them in the scorecard without asking for anything else.
