Lightweight Cabin Furniture Systems
Lighter, more durable, water-resistant furniture cores with lower environmental impact
Lighter by Design
Standard and PlaatDetail have developed a new generation of lightweight cabin furniture systems tailored specifically to meet the demanding requirements of the marine industry.
At the heart of the development is a clear focus on solving two of the industry’s critical challenges: weight and sustainability. Cruise operators face growing pressure to reduce fuel consumption and lower the environmental footprint of their vessels. By significantly reducing the weight of cabin furnishings, our new system contributes to overall vessel weight reduction, which in turn leads to improved fuel efficiency and decreased lifecycle emissions.

Tested and Certified
EN 16121 / EN 16122 Compliance
Independent testing by TalTech University confirms strength, stability and fatigue resistance
40 000 Cycles
Opening/closing tests showed no structural failure
Environmental Product Declaration
SIPA Lightweight offers up to 50% lower CO2 footprint than conventional foam cores
90% Recycling Rate
Components have 90% end-of-life material recovery
Why SIPA?
✅ Up to 5x lighter than traditional chipboard – meaning significant weight savings for cruise ships and, in turn, reduced fuel consumption.
✅ 100% waterproof – suitable for wet units and even harsher marine environments.
✅ Sustainable inside and out – made from recycled ocean plastic, turning waste into long-lasting design solutions.
