Among the five certifications DVO, the maker of the Planeta desk, declares on the Qubo product sheet, one has a US address. GREENGUARD UL 2818 is the Underwriters Laboratories standard for chemical emissions from furniture, the one an American facility manager or a sustainability consultant already knows by name. Italian suppliers usually arrive with European acronyms; here the paperwork speaks the language of the building it is going into, together with CARB Phase 2 for the composite wood, FSC, the Italian CAM criteria and UNI EN 15372.
The furniture behind the paperwork is a modular system of reception desks and counters designed by Antonio Morello in 2012. Straight modules come in six widths, 33.9 to 81.1 in (86 to 206 cm), 33.1 in deep (84 cm) and 44.3 in high (112.5 cm); a two-way 90° corner turns the run and right- or left-hand end modules close it. The accessible module sits at 29.1 in (74 cm) with a 45.3 in (115 cm) deep top for a seated visitor. Worktops are 1 in (25 mm) melamine with a 0.08 in (2 mm) ABS edge; eleven melamine finishes plus a gloss white laminate for the counter top. Optional welcome top, anodized aluminum plinth and an LED bar with touch dimmer whose power supply accepts 100-240 V. Warranty of 8 years, stated by DVO.
La Mercanti ships Qubo to the US with the GREENGUARD, CARB and FSC documents attached to the quotation, so the sustainability consultant can file them without a second request. Offices, hotel lobbies and other reception areas use the same series in different compositions; the module list changes, the certificates stay the same.
