R.U.M. Armrest – Pharma Blue is an innovative, sustainable design armchair formulated entirely from recycled medical industry waste. Featuring structural integrated armrests, it is engineered beautifully to deliver exceptional circular performance in modern corporate offices, healthcare B2B boardrooms, and commercial contract projects.
The distinctive blue shell is formulated entirely from discarded medical components, such as used insulin pens. By diverting high-quality technical plastics from the pharmaceutical waste stream, Wehlers gives a circular second life to valuable materials. All medical waste utilization is strictly tracked and engineered to meet rigid high-traffic contract furniture standards.
Use & Versatility - With its comfortable armrests and high-end aesthetic, this R.U.M. model performs exceptionally well as a sustainable office boardroom chair, a design-led conference chair, or a durable dining chair for public and private spaces. Whether it is integrated into dynamic corporate workplace projects, contract installations, or a premium home, this chair delivers high performance without compromising on circular ethics or architectural beauty.
Design - The iconic architectural expression of the chair was created by C.F. Møller Design, an integral part of C.F. Møller Architects—one of Scandinavia's oldest and largest architectural firms. Their and our vision is to improve the lives of people and the planet. C.F. Møller Design describes the creation of R.U.M. as a friendly, comfortable, and practical architectural chair, optimized beautifully for corporate offices, public spaces, and private homes.
Sustainability & B-Corp Certification - R.U.M. stands for Re-Used Materials. As a certified B-Corp, Wehlers anchors this product in a strict circular economy framework. The entire design process follows a circular thinking approach: only two primary materials are used in the production of the R.U.M. chair, ensuring that 100% of the components can be recycled continuously for new Wehlers furniture through our official Take-Back System.
