We are members of FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association)
and CFAS (Commercial Furniture Advisory Service) which gives
us up-to-date knowledge and details on new product innovations
within the furniture industry. We also get regular product updates
from our supply chain on their latest design and environmental
initiatives which helps us share best practice.
From product inception through to
manufacture Dams work to a cradle-to-
grave philosophy.
The underside of our tops are multi drilled to enable their use
across differing leg frames from desktops to table tops. This
extends the life of a product.
Our Products are manufactured and assembled using simple hand
tools which will allow the products to be dis-assembled easily and
reconfigured where necessary.
We hold FSC® Chain of Custody (INT-COC-002123) which
can lead to credit awards for BREEAM Fit-out and Refurbishment
Projects.

Product life cycle
Dams after sales team has a dedicated parts and service
department to extend the useful life of our products. There is
no reason that a chair should go to a landfill simply because a
castor breaks, or a desk should go to the tip because one of
the feet has snapped due to some unforeseen incident.
We design our products with components that are recyclable
whenever possible and easy to replace when there’s wear
and tear to fix or aesthetic updates to make, and for recycling
at the end of their life cycle.
