The Danforth II is no ordinary lounge seat — it’s ecological, essential, and tailored to fit in small or large spaces. The Danforth II’s modular form is easily transported, assembled, and reconfigured. Modularity makes it versatile and economical; one chair with so many options. With easily replaceable components and quickly assembled modular construction, the Danforth II is built to last. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, style, and functionality. The Danforth II’s optional features include a built-in swivel desk component, and an electrical/USB port for user convenience. The Danforth II is available as a single, double, or triple seater. The Danforth II has an incredibly light environmental footprint. The chair is 91% recyclable and composed of 62% recycled content. The Danforth II is designed to provide a longer lifespan than the industry average — reducing the frequency of products going to landfill after only a short period of use. The chair can also be disassembled with basic tools for replacement and recycling purposes. As with our other products, the Danforth II’s manufacturing process, which takes place in our wind and solar-powered facility, creates a little-to-no negative impact on the planet. The Danforth II is GREENGUARD® certified as a low-emitting product that meets current indoor air quality standards. GREENGUARD® is recognized in LEED building rating systems and Green Guide for Healthcare. Backed by Nightingale’s Lifetime Limited Warranty: all non-moving metal parts. 10 years: Control mechanisms, casters, pneumatic cylinders, self-skinned urethane parts, and plastic shells. 5 years: Upholsteries.
