Manufacturer Receives LEVEL 3 Certification on Top-Selling Products
9to5 Seating is committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible business practices. This global perspective informs every aspect of its corporate culture, from warehousing to manufacturing to its office facilities to its community.
Aiming to boldly change how furniture designers and manufacturers operate, 9to5 Seating has prioritized environmental responsibility. The company has earned LEVEL 2 certification on all its products, with HÅG Capisco and HÅG Capisco Puls receiving an almost unprecedented LEVEL 3 certification—the highest ranking. To secure LEVEL certification, 9to5 Seating demonstrated that its manufacturing facility and company create “environmentally preferable and socially responsible” furniture that contributes to sustainable building ratings. LEVEL 3 is the highest product ranking, similar to a platinum ranking in the LEED rating system.
9to5 Seating is steadfast in its commitment to its communities and the planet. It works smart, selecting materials carefully so that its products don’t just support the fight against climate change but become part of the solution.
9to5 Seating is introducing a new Ultrafabrics card that is poised to please safety and design-conscious markets alike. With all bleach-cleanable upholstery in rich colors and a luxurious feel, the “Impress the Senses” card is uniquely positioned to address today’s market needs.
The four new patterns and 66 colorways were designed to complement the popular Ultrafabrics Brisa and Ultraleather Pro that appear on the “Impress the Senses” fabric card from 9to5 Seating. The Wired pattern creates a sense of movement thanks to its interconnected linear design and is also textured for a more impactful user experience. And the new Reef Pro pattern is ink- and stain-resistant, making it ideal for collaborative office spaces, education and corporate training settings. With double rubs of 250,000-500,000, all of the patterns meet today’s demands for durability. All of the “Impress the Senses” patterns are bleach cleanable and meet SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certification.
The new Ultrafabrics “Impress the Senses” card will be available July 2022. View all the patterns and colorways now at 9to5seating.com.
9to5 Seating is proud to announce that the HÅG SoFi has been awarded the 2022 HiP Honoree Award. Interior Design’s HiP award recognizes innovative products and highlights achievement in product design.
HÅG SoFi is a seating solution with a fresh innovative design, supreme comfort, and flexibility. It is available in mesh or upholstered back options with seat and lumbar adjustment. A unique feature about the HÅG SoFi is how its arms slide out of the way so you can move closer to your table or desk or sit sideways. Learn more about HÅG SoFi at 9to5seating.com/neocon.
HÅG SoFi will be available from 9to5 Seating in Fall 2022.
We can’t wait to see everyone back at NeoCon 2022. We have some great new additions to the portfolio you will not want to miss. Get a sneak peek at what’s new on our NeoCon page. You can also take a virtual tour of our new showroom and RSVP to our Monday night part.

9to5 Seating is partnering with One Tree Planted, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that focuses on reforestation around the globe by planting one tree for every dollar donated. With a long-time dedication to sustainability, 9to5 Seating will focus its donation and efforts on reforestation in California, where the company’s headquarters is located and where deadly wildfires have impacted numerous communities in recent years.
One Tree Planted teams with individuals and organizations in more than 43 countries including The Jane Goodall Institute, to plant trees and restore nature and biodiversity. The trees are planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where there has been deforestation. They also raise awareness about the importance of trees and motivate younger generations to do something positive for the environment. The organization has doubled the number of trees it has planted since 2014 and enables its partners to choose a region of focus for its efforts.
“We’ve seen the devastating impact of forest fires too often in our home state of California, which is why it was so important to us to partner with One Tree Planted,” said Dara Mir, President and CEO of 9to5 Seating. “We’re committed to sustainability at every opportunity, and teaming with this impressive organization will enable us to make an even greater impact.”
9to5 Seating is committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible business practices. This global perspective is endorsed and executed throughout every aspect of our corporate culture, and within our warehousing, manufacturing and office facilities. We are proud to demonstrate our commitment by offering GREENGUARD GOLD Certified products, participating in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Waste Wise Program, achieving LEED® NC Gold Certification for our corporate headquarters facility and achieving LEVEL®, BIFMA’s sustainability certification program for furniture.

9to5 Seating had a great NeoCon this year! Despite the lower attendance for the show overall, the buzz over 9to5 Seating at this year’s show was electric.
This year, 9to5 Seating moved to a new and larger showroom (Ste. 1095) reflecting our growth, passion and values that continue to drive us. The larger space allows 9to5 Seating to display our broad portfolio of products as well as entertain and host events, like our Monday night Sips + Seating party!
Also, this year, 9to5 Seating won two prestigious product design awards for the HÅG Capisco: the Interior Design Magazine’s HiP Award and Metropolis Magazine’s MetropolisLikes x NeoCon award. 9to5 Seating is proud to receive these two distinguished awards and will continue to add more high design products to our portfolio, like Jax, Kip, Mila and Sol.
