R.U.M. Wheels – Pharma Blue is an innovative, sustainable office task chair made from recycled medical industry waste. Fully optimized with rolling wheels and smooth height-adjustable seating, it is engineered to deliver peak performance in agile commercial workspaces, modern corporate offices, and B2B 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.

Equipped with a 5-star swivel base on smooth-rolling casters and an adjustable gas lift mechanism, it provides the mobility and physical flexibility required during long workdays. Whether integrated into dynamic corporate workplace projects, contract installations, or a premium home office, this chair delivers premium seating comfort without compromising on circular principles.
Design - The iconic architectural expression of the R.U.M. chair series was created by C.F. Møller Design, an integral part of C.F. Møller Architects. 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 heavily for public contract spaces, modern corporate offices, and private homes.
Sustainability & B-Corp Certification - R.U.M. stands for Re-Used Materials. As a certified B-Corp, Wehlers anchors this office task chair 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.
