Where Kinnarps makes its chairs

  • Kinnarp, Sweden. The largest plant, and the place of production in the Capella and 6000/8000 EPDs. Kinnarps has six plants, all in Sweden (also Jönköping, Skillingaryd, Vinslöv and two in Tranås). Source.

Warranty and spare parts

Warranty: Standard warranty years not found on the pages we checked.

Spare parts: Not published as a period.

A maker's warranty is a voluntary extra. In the EU the seller still owes you at least the two-year legal guarantee; how the two fit together.

Environmental documents and take-back

Marks and certificates named in Kinnarps's documents: ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 · ISO 45001 · EU Ecolabel licence SE/049/005 (to 2029) · Möbelfakta · NF Environnement (Capella) · FSC.

EPDs: Product EPDs registered with EPD-Norge, linked from product pages.

Take-back and refurbishment: Refurbishment, renovation and upgrades on site or in a service truck; help with recycling; refurbished furniture sold in the Kinnarps online store.

What these labels prove, and what they don't: sustainable office chairs, by the numbers.

Buying Kinnarps chairs in Europe

Product pages on kinnarps.com show no prices. Only the Swedish business webshop (kinnarps.se) lists prices, excluding VAT.

Buying from a store in another EU country? The rules on delivery, VAT and returns are in buying an office chair across borders.
