TAO | RIO Active Learning Furniture System

Platinum Award
TAO | RIO Active Learning Collaborative Conference Table...is really about what happens around it.When something is whole, it is unchanging and complete. Splitting something whole into two halves —yin / yang— is a graphic interpretation of that split. Representing the dynamic equilibrium of wholeness, yin/yang is not a static state.The iconic figure symbolizes both halves chasing after each other as they seek a balance with each other, in the moment.Tao and Rio tables, used together expand the area for group communication and finding balance. The nature of the Tao expands out. This process of expansion defines a pattern, splitting apart into finer and finer patterns.FORMAL BALANCE | FORMAL CONFERENCEThe Tao Circle of yin and yang nest together with two Rio tables, around which six to eight people may be seated.

We are dedicated to assisting our customers inmeeting the goals of sustainable-design projects and those adhering to LEED certificationguidelines.American Steel or Metal and Sheet components used in all FlipIT Products andaccessories have 40% recycled content.Primary materials used in the manufacture of SMARTdesks® products includeparticleboard (PB) and medium density fiberboard (MDF), which are manufactured to strictquality control standards with recycled and recovered wood fiber. These products1 maycontribute towards specific credits under the US Green Building Council (USGBC)Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) criteria.The following credits are recognized under the LEED Green Building Rating System forNew Construction & Major Renovations, Version 2.2, October, 2005:• Materials & Resources, Recycled Content, Credits 4.1 and 4.2.All PB/MDF products are manufactured from 100% recycled and/or recovered fiber.• Materials & Resources, Regional Materials, Credits 5.1 and 5.2.PB/MDF products are manufactured in eight locations in North America: New Brunswickand Ontario, Canada; Oregon, Arkansas, Louisiana, and South Carolina, USA. Nearly allof the wood fiber used is recycled or recovered from within a 100 mile radius of themanufacturing facilities. These facilities are within 500 miles of a significant portion of theUS population.• Materials & Resources, Certified Wood, Credit 7Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified (SW-COC-000444) particleboard and MDFproducts are used. The FSC standards represent the world's strongest system for guidingforest management toward sustainable outcomes. Like the forestry profession itself, theFSC system includes stakeholders with a diverse array of perspectives on whatrepresents a well-managed and sustainable forest. While the discussion continues, theFSC standards for forest management have now been applied in over 57 countries aroundthe world.• Indoor Environmental Quality, Low-Emitting Materials: Composite Wood, Credit 4.4.IEQ Credit 4.4 requires “no added urea-formaldehyde resin”.
