Furniture for people. Made of steel – naturally!
No other material has as many positive properties as steel. At C+P, we exploit every one of those properties and use steel whenever design, stability and long-term value are required.
We can best put the C+P philosophy of “Furniture for people” into practice with our “Furniture made of steel”. Our experience over several decades with steel as principal material is simply incomparable. Make the most of that competitive edge!
Arguments for steel
- Steel permits top-class design solutions
- Steel is robust and durable
- Steel is versatile
- Steel opens up endless colour options
- Steel is easy to care for and hygienic
- Steel lends it self perfectly for combinationwith other materials
- Steel furniture provides practical fire protection
- Steel furniture is long-lasting and built to survive any number of office moves
Play it safe: When opting for steel furniture go for the market leader and make C+P your first choice!
Steel – a green material
Steel recycling plays an important part in relieving the burden on resources, because it can always be melted down again without any loss of quality. In Germany, almost a half of the steel is produced from this “secondary raw material”. That cuts down the energy needs in production – and so also considerably reduces the CO2 emissions. And, to stay on this topic a moment longer: there is lower energy consumption and lower emissions during transportation because steel furniture is lighter than furniture made of wood. Steel represents an ideal combination of ecology, stability and design.

The material of your choice – steel!
The proven material, steel, is 100% recyclable. C+P steel furniture therefore provides an ecologically viable working environment. Not to mention the cost savings for waste disposal.
The advantages of this incomparable material are also scientifically proven:
The “elasticity module” defines the ratio of the force required to cause a distortion and the distortion it causes. In other words: how much force must I apply to stretch a material? The diagram shows that steel is unbeatable as a material in terms of stability and elasticity.
The stress strain graph illustrates how easily a material can be distorted and when the material will fail, i.e. break. You can see that, in comparison to wood, steel is very difficult to distort. It can withst and extremely strong forces and also offers a wider safety margin in the critical range, thanks to its plastic properties.
