Hailed as a curator of sustainable workspaces, Zenith believes in fostering environments that inspire and motivate individuals.

Guided by the principle that the workplace should embody an organisation’s core values and culture, Zenith empowers companies to craft modern workspaces that encourage focus, collaboration, socialisation, and a sense of community. Zenith’s recent offerings promise to continue to engineer sustainable solutions that integrate seamlessly with the ethos of the modern workplace.

Denn

The recent launch of the dynamic ‘Denn’ task and multipurpose chair marked the beginning of a new era for Zenith. Informed by a philosophy of ‘subconscious sitting,’ the Denn chair is the culmination of extensive research undertaken in collaboration with Formway and has already resulted in a gold Good Design Award (2022), and Best Design Award winner (GOLD) for Zenith.

Denn Chair.

Denn’s innovative design, with an 8-degree forward movement and constant under-thigh support, reflects a meticulous understanding of user behaviour, embracing a ‘fidget to focus’ philosophy. Beyond its market-leading features, Denn strikes an elegant balance between aesthetics and sustainability, with up to 58% of Denn’s total weight made up of post-consumer recycled content, upholding Zenith’s firm commitment to the environment.

Available in seven statement colours, Denn promises to elevate the modern office with a touch of sophisticated flair, a testament to Zenith’s commitment to harmonising cutting-edge technology, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.

Jac

Jac.

Zenith’s Jac chair range was conceived by eco-design pioneers Schamburg and Alvisse. With 95% of its shells now crafted from post-consumer recycled polypropylene – including recycled plastic from discarded household appliances – the JAC chair is an ideal exemplar of circular economy principles.

The eco-friendly shift is estimated to divert a substantial 103 tonnes of waste from landfills annually. The recycled shells boast four new colours: Chocolate, Burnt Umber, Rust, and Sky Blue. Zenith’s recent additions to the JAC collection include The Executive, The Armchair and The Lounge chair.

Finally, the ‘One Jac One Tree’ program reinforces Zenith’s unwavering commitment to sustainable design, making JAC a conscientious choice for the modern workplace.

Verse

Verse.

Addressing the challenge of balancing timber demand and environmental conservation, Crafted Hardwoods, an Australian manufacturer, employs innovative robotics and smart automation to transform low-value, juvenile resources into sophisticated hardwoods that mirror the properties of century-old trees within a day.

This sustainable approach, free from solvents and 100% recyclable, has found a noteworthy application in Zenith’s Verse collection. Verse stands out as one of the most environmentally conscious acoustic pods on the market. Offering a private phone booth and two differently sized meeting rooms, Zenith caters to the diverse demands of the modern office by providing workplace solutions which prioritise adaptability, functionality, and flexibility.

Moreover, each purchase contributes to reforestation, making Verse the preferred choice for those seeking a harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. New additions to the Verse collection include the Crafted Hardwoods ‘Tasmanian Oak’ and ‘Blackbutt’ frames, sourced and manufactured here in Australia.
