R.U.M. Sledge – Pharma Blue is an innovative, sustainable design chair featuring a clean sledge/cantilever base, formulated entirely from recycled medical industry waste. Engineered with an iconic architectural silhouette, this contract-grade stackable chair is custom-tailored for professional healthcare boardrooms, corporate educational spaces, and modern B2B 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.
Architectural & Operational Impact - Built on a flexible sledge frame that allows for subtle, comfortable movement during long meetings, this configuration is both exceptionally functional and easy to store due to its stackable nature. It delivers high aesthetic value to interior design projects while offering documented environmental transparency for institutional procurement managers.
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.
