Ocee & Four Design Announces Transferrable Warranties

Ocee & Four Design has announced that warranties across its entire product portfolio can be transferred through change of ownership. This game changing development follows the introduction of over 50 products with 25 year and 30 with 10 year warranties and represents a significant step forward for reuse in the office furniture market.

Generally, warranties for office furniture are not transferable. They are typically limited to the original purchaser, and once the furniture is resold, the warranty is usually void. Ocee & Four Design’s initiative offers the opportunity for the remaining period of the warranty to be available to the new owner.

The warranty will be transferred following receipt of product details including confirmation of original purchase and compliance with the warranty requirements, such as use and storage within suitable facilities.

It is estimated that the UK’s Fit-out and Interiors Sector discards 300 tonnes of fit-out waste every day with furniture and fittings accounting for up to 30% of a commercial building’s footprint over its lifespan. Ocee & Four Design is committed to the principles of the circular economy and has already introduced ecodesign features, such as repairability, durability and design for disassembly as well as a ‘take back’ scheme.

Alistair Gough, CEO, Ocee & Four Design explains:

“Driven by carbon reduction targets, customers are increasingly recognising the importance of waste avoidance and opportunities through reuse. Our commitment to warranty transfer demonstrates our confidence in the quality and durability of our products. Our portfolio includes 25-year and 10-year warranties so we appreciate that products may have a change of ownership during that period. We believe that this will have significant impact on the reuse market and, in turn, support cost and carbon savings.”
