R.U.M. Barstool – Keyboard Black is a sleek, sustainable high-seating design chair crafted from recycled E-waste plastic. Engineered to withstand the intensive demands of commercial spaces, contemporary office bar areas, and professional B2B contract environments, it blends an industrial edge with timeless Scandinavian minimalism.
E-waste products consist of reused plastic materials from discarded electronic devices. With technological appliances being produced and consumed to a large extent—making it the fastest-growing waste stream in Europe—it is vital to reuse the considerable amount of E-waste that naturally arises from global consumption. All the E-waste material utilized in this specific Wehlers architectural chair is sourced from Europe and processed to meet rigid high-traffic standards.
Performance & Utility - Featuring a durable high-frame with built-in footrest support, this configuration is ideal for agile office workspaces, collaborative standing-height zones, and premium hospitality venues. It delivers heavy-duty contract performance while keeping carbon accounting and corporate ESG targets at the forefront of the design specification.
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.
