What matters to us
Recycled content
This product incorporates recycled materials. Diverting materials from landfill reduces the demand for raw materials and utilising waste as a resource contributes towards
the circular economy.
- Upcycled Material - each unit repurposes 6 reclaimed laminate MDF or particleboard desktops otherwise destined for landfill
- 85–145 kg CO₂e diverted per unit - based on ICE v2.0 embodied carbon benchmarks for particleboard and MDF, including avoided landfill emissions and displaced virgin production
- Clip-based assembly system - accommodates the inherent variation in reclaimed desktop sizes and finishes
- Removable, slip-on fabric covers -conceals surface inconsistencies; reupholstered on-site without returning to manufacturer
- Waste wool felt padding -No fossil fuel-derived foam
- Instyle eco wool textile -100% Australian-made fabric range
- Modular configuration -grows from 2-person to 4 or 6-person simply by interchanging panels; no new purchase required
- Flat-pack assembly -carbon-efficient transport; assembled on-site with nothing more than a screwdriver or drill
- No take-back scheme needed, WasteAway creates its own circular logic by design
- Australian Made , designed and manufactured locally

Designing for good
At Koskela, we believe design has a critical role to play in reducing waste, keeping materials in use, and lowering the overall footprint of the spaces we help create.That belief has led us to develop a new foundation for how we work:10 Circular Design Principles that now guide every product we make and every decision we take as a business.
