(dlb), school furniture. Why? After years of being a teacher and
seeing kids rocking back on their chairs and having accidents, Tom
was inspired to design the Max Chair. It features an anti-tilt
frame and lumber support that prevents children from rocking back.
Approximately 7,000 children go to hospital each year after
chair-related accidents. And a remarkable 12% of adult back pain
has been attributed to poor school seating. How? As Tom points out,
the design of school seating hadnt changed in 50 years, until the
introduction of new European standards. The UK was slow to adhere
to the new standards, so I decided to create chairs that children
would want to sit on and that met with the new standards, he says.
Kids sit for nearly seven hours a day at school so its important
chairs are comfy and ergonomically sound. Tom managed to get
investment for his idea and was able to leave his teaching job in
2007 to focus solely on building up dlb. Any Setbacks? The biggest
hurdle was finding a good manufacturer. It took a year. I was keen
to use a UK firm but soon became frustrated with the quality of
manufacturing here. I found better companies overseas but was
determined to find a UK manufactuer that could deliver the quality
that I strived for. But I did in the end. Hows it doing? More than
20,000 chairs have been sold to 440 schools so far. Anything Else?
Tom wanted to produce a range of recycled chairs for schools so,
after the success of the original Max Chair, he devised a way of
melting down old chairs in order to recycle them into stylish new
ones. So now schools can recycle more than paper. (At present, more
than 5,000 tons of plastic chairs end up in landfill every year).
There are also desks and tables in the dlb range. FIND OUT MORE:
