Background
In order to reassure all our customers as to the quality of our products, ConceptD has chosen to become the first armchair manufacturer to certify all the products of its range. This complex, stringent approach enables the consistency of ConceptD’s technical choices to be demonstrated based on the constraints exerted on armchairs in theatre halls.
Developments – Innovation
One of these technical choices consisted of replacing the current systems (lift by inertia, spring or other) with a new method able to meet the standards in force applied to rooms open to the public. The principe of the pneumatic cylinder was developed by our design office, in collaboration with the world-renowned manufacturer (Stabilus).
Product certification
The certification of a product demonstrates compliance with reference guidelines composed of the relevant standards and technical regulations. The attention of certified quality, a quality mark or label is issued by a competent, officially-recognised third party (such as AFNOR or CTBA), separate from the manufacturer, seller or importer. Product certification is voluntary commitment by incumbent carriers of the NF and GS labels. Through this action, they make the quality of their products known to consumers. They must therefore ensure that all conditions are met, both in terms of product quality and the manufactureing process. Declaring one’s product compliant with the standards is easy. But it also needs to be proved ! With certified products, the company holds a veritable passport of permanent evidence of the quality of its products.
Patent pending
Compliance with European Standard PR EN 12.727 level 4, providing for 100,000 seat opening/closing cycles, equivalent to more than 17 years of intensive use, but increased to 200,000 cycles at the request of ConceptD.
CYLINDER LIFT SYSTEM
• Extremely quiet system incorporating the end-of-travel stops with integrated brake.
• No inadvertent slamming when lifting the seat.
• Seat lifting at constant, controlled speed.
• Seat braking when lifting it at end of travel.
• System reliability, durability and strength integrated, invisibly and inaccessibly, into the structure.

Grenelle environment forum (Valdelia)
• Subsequent to the works of the Grenelle environment forum, commercial furniture marketers are henceforth reponsible for managing any waste from furniture components.
• In order to meet their obligations, 13 industrials firms, including DELAGRAVE Group, all memebers of the UNIFA, created VALDELIA (VALorisation des DÉchets Liés à l’Ameublement : recovery of furnishing-related waste) a future Eco-body approved by the French ministry for ecology, sustainable development and energy.
• With the introduction of this recycling chain, holders of furniture will benefit from a veritable service meeting ambitious collection and recycling objectives.
• Valdelia provides a service for the collection and treatment of waste furniture elements (DEA : déchets d’éléments d’ameublement) for holders complying with certain conditions.
