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:
