Partito

Brings structure to space

Steelcase created Partito, a flexible and ingenious system that optimises the way in which those valuable square metres are divided up.

Structure

·  The Partito system supports the many different types of activities that take place every day in the office.

·  An ingeniously straightforward way of partitioning a room without sacrificing any precious floor space

·  In addition, clever cable management makes data and power distribution virtually invisible

Individual

·  Partito helps you to organise your individual things better and help you to find what you need quicker

·  Our wide range of 1+1 Worktools helps you get the best out of the available space.

·  Partito in your favourite colour for your demands

Privacy

·  The visual and physical privacy you establish with Partito Walls means you have your own personal space for working independently.

·  On average, 80% of your working time is spent with someone else. Partito is designed to enhance communication by encouraging and facilitating contact with others.

·  Everyone has to be able to concentrate. Partito contributes to business performance by giving people the peace and space they need to think clearly and work decisively.

Applications

Various possibilities

Partito’s highly flexible workspace concept allows planners to create diverse work settings, from one individual workstation through to several workstations for a team. Organisations can therefore support various workstyles – tasking, teaming, In-between and Call Center – using just one, versatile furniture range.

Technical Description

MATERIAL

Two frame

thicknesses,

several different

infill options

50mm Wall

Linked by die-cast zinc

corners. A 50mm thick

continuous aluminium

frame which can be filled

with 50mm thick infill that

gives class B acoustic

damping.

35mm Wall

Infill thickness of 8mm

(Melamine, wood veneer,

fabric or acrylic double-web) and 35mm (fabric or special fabric with acoustic damping

characteristics).

35mm Screen

Infill thickness of 8mm

(Melamine, wood veneer,

fabric or acrylic double-web) and 35mm (special fabric with acoustic damping characteristics).

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE

Acoustical absorption is the sound power that is not reflected:

·  total sound reflection means α = 0

·  total sound absorption means α = 1

The relevant frequency range for office spaces falls between 250 – 4000Hz.

Partito Wall 35mm qualifies for acoustical absorption Class C. This means 50-90% of the noise occurring will be absorbed between 250 and 4000HZ.

Partito Wall 50mm qualifies for acoustical absorption Class B. This means 60-95% of the noise occurring will be absorbed between 250

and 4000HZ.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW


Eco-design

Eco-design – Partito’s environmental performance

Making eco-design is in itself a step towards sustainability, taking into account environmental, social and economic issues. Sustainability is not just about getting your plants certified. It’s about creating products that include both environmental and human health as key decision parameters, alongside usual considerations like quality, reliability and price.

Life Cycle Thinking for environmental products

At Steelcase we designed Partito applying expertise to measure, analyse then reduce the impacts that our products have on the environment.

Materials Assessment

For Partito we selected materials that are safe, healthy, and ecologically sound throughout their life cycle, with our partner Mc Donough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

The LCA methodology is the starting point for the continuous improvement of our products. It is based on the ISO 14040-43 and has been selected by the European Union for environmental evaluation.

Environmental parameters considered throughout Partito’s life cycle are: Global warming, Acidification, Eutrophication, Photochemical smog, Abiotic resource depletion, Waste, and Toxic Substances.

Our partners when carrying out LCA studies are: the Institute for Product Development in Denmark, the Institute for Engineering Design in Austria and the Institute of Chambéry in France.

To ensure a more environmentally healthful product we considered the potential environmental impact throughout Partito's entire life cycle -- from materials extraction to end-of-use strategies -- as part of our overall design and development process.

Transparency with environmental declarations

At Steelcase we communicate openly and factually about the environmental performance of our products, through environmental declarations.

With Partito we can provide:
