SUSTAINABILITY
At the forefront of the circular economy
LEADING THE JOURNEY
SUSTAINABILITY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Loopspace recognises that furniture industry's traditional take-make-dispose model is increasingly unsustainable. That's why we are pioneering a different approach. As part of the Saxen group, we have leveraged our experience and influence to transform the life cycle of office furnishings.


REVIVE, RENEW & REPAIR
Give your furniture a second life
Loopspace promotes the repair or replacement of ageing or damaged components in commercial furnishings in order to prologue each product's life cycle, improve its performance, and reduce waste to landfill. The individual parts and the whole product are then tested to ensure it maintains the integrity of the original design, build quality, and comfort.
REMANUFACTURE TO RELOVE
BE PART OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Your purchasing power can make a genuine difference. When you buy our refurbished furnishings, you’re investing in items of outstanding quality which have been painstakingly restored in accordance with our 10-point process. Additionally, you're saving money while halting their journey to landfill.

FURNITURE RESTORATION
OUR TEN-POINT REFURBISHMENT PROCESS
How Loopspace refurbish office chairs
The first step Loopspace take is to assess the condition of the office chairs that arrive in our warehouse.
We check every part of the product to make sure it is in good enough condition to be refurbished. We know the carbon score of most of the office chairs we refurbish and also understand the carbon impact of reconditioning each one.
If a chair is not sustainable to refubish for resale then we ethically recycle it instead.
Every chair begins with a thorough cleaning.
Our refurb team start by vacuuming any dirt or debris that has collected in the chair's nooks and crannies before thoroughly cleaning its hard surfaces using eco-friendly, plant-based cleaning and disinfectant products. We then steam-clean the chair's upholstery. This ensures the chair you receive is properly sanitised.
We then can begin the restoration process.
We then inspect the chair and repair any minor damage. This stage includes testing that the product's standard functions are working as they should, that all screws, nuts and bolts are effective; all joints in the metal frame are tight; and any textile damage is noted for the upholstery stage.
We check the integrity of any foam in the chair, and replace padding and contoured foam if required.
The foam padding inside your office chair plays a key role in supporting good posture by distributing your weight evenly across the seat pad. If the existing cushion is compressed or worn, we will replace it.
Our recycling partners are able to shred and re-use most waste foam. This is often reused in the manufacture of garden furniture, acoustic products, and even carpets.
Our expert upholsters then go to work making sure the seat and backrest look clean and new.
For leather products, we heat and re-stretch the leather to smooth out any sagging. We then rub in leather conditioner to make it fresh.
For fabric chairs, we check to make sure the cushion is in good order. For the fabric, our skilled team will re-upholster any seat, backrest and headrest that needs repaired. When required, we use special adhesives that are environmentally friendly.
For solid and stacking chairs, we thoroughly cleaning the seat and backrest, polishing out scratches and treating the surface with a special non-toxic cleaner. We may not always be able to remove deeper scratches or blemishes, but the price we set reflects the product's condition.
If the chair has metal arms, base, legs or backrests, we clean and polish them, buffing out light scratches and marks. As our chairs are refurbished products, we may not always be able to remove every mark to perfect condition.
For products with painted frames, we prep and re-spray any damaged or marked areas to ensure the surface is restored.
For plastic and lacquered wooden frames, we lightly polish, paying special attention to removing any marks or light scratches.
We make sure you don't compromise on functionality when participating in the circular economy. When giving an office chair a second life, we make sure it retains all of its initial functionality.
We use silicone to lubricate the gas height cylinders which are used to raise or lower the chair's seat. This makes sure your chair operates smoothly and effectively.
Our refurb team then check all other removable parts, such as the chair's arm pads, castors, base, and any seat control levers or buttons.
We stock components for hundreds of the most popular office chairs, and we will replace any part that doesn't meet our exacting standards.
Although an office chair may seem comfortable and stylish, it will not be sturdy in the long run if its hardware is not well-fitted, strong, and functioning.
Every wheel is securely attached, as well as lever arms and controls, ensuring a perfect fit. You chair will be stable, safe, and wobble-free upon arrival.
Each Loopspace chair undergoes a pre-shipping final check to guarantee cleanliness and functionality in your home office or workplace.
Be a part of our commitment to a genuine circular economy. Relove your refurbished chair, swap in Loopspace replacement parts when necessary, and in the future when you're ready for your next chair, return it to us for the next stage of its circular journey.
