The R.U.M. Chair: Denmark's Most Sustainable Office Chair
Your office says something about your organisation before anyone in it opens their mouth. The sustainable office chair you choose — and where it comes from — is no longer a procurement detail. It is a statement of values, visible to every employee, client and partner who walks through your door.
The R.U.M. chair by Wehlers is the sustainable office chair built for organisations that take that statement seriously. Designed in Denmark. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. Certified by B-Corp. Backed by full material documentation for ESG reporting.
Why Forward-Thinking Organisations Choose a Sustainable Office Chair
ESG reporting requirements across the EU are tightening. Employee expectations around workplace sustainability are rising. And the organisations that furnish their offices with genuinely circular products are the ones building reputations that last longer than any marketing campaign.
The R.U.M. chair sits at the intersection of all three. It is not a compromise between sustainability and design quality — it is proof that the two are not in conflict. The name says it all: R.U.M. stands for ReUsed Materials. Every component, from seat shell to base, is manufactured from post-consumer recycled materials.
Wehlers is Denmark's first B-Corp certified furniture brand — independently verified to meet the highest global standards of environmental and social performance. When you specify R.U.M. for your office, you are not making a gesture. You are making a documented, verifiable and reportable commitment.
Our Full Circular model | What B-Corp means for your ESG reporting
Three Materials. One Sustainable Office Chair.
Pharma Blue
Made from post-consumer pharmaceutical waste — injection pens and medical devices rescued from landfill. Developed with Novo Nordisk. The sustainable office chair of choice for life sciences, healthcare and pharmaceutical organisations.
Fisherman's Green
Made from ocean-recovered fishing nets — one of the most persistent forms of plastic pollution in the world's seas. The sustainable office chair that brings a genuine environmental story into your workplace.
Keyboard Black
Made from post-industrial plastic waste — offcuts and surplus from manufacturing processes worldwide. The sustainable office chair for modern workplaces that demand a neutral aesthetic without neutral values.
The Sustainable Office Chair for ESG Reporting
EU sustainability directives, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and growing investor scrutiny mean that what goes into your office is increasingly part of what goes into your annual report.
The R.U.M. chair is one of the few office chairs in the world with full material traceability. Every chair can be documented back to its source material — which waste stream it came from, how it was processed and what its carbon footprint is. This is the level of documentation that procurement teams and sustainability officers need.
Carbon Footprint
The R.U.M. chair has one of the lowest carbon footprints of any design chair on the market — 15.1 kg CO₂e over its full lifecycle. For comparison, a conventionally manufactured plastic chair typically generates three to four times that figure.
Volume Orders and Customisation
For organisations furnishing large workspaces, Wehlers offers volume pricing and project support. Whether you are fitting out a single floor or an entire headquarters, our team works directly with procurement, interior design and sustainability leads to deliver the right specification.
"The most powerful sustainability credential is the one that is visible. Place a Pharma Blue R.U.M. in your reception or a Fisherman's Green in your boardroom, and your commitment to a circular economy speaks for itself before a single word is said."
A Sustainable Office Chair That Lasts
Sustainability is not just about what a chair is made from. It is also about how long it lasts. A chair that needs replacing every three years is never truly sustainable — regardless of its material origin.
The R.U.M. chair is engineered for the demands of commercial use. The recycled plastic shell is resistant to fading, scratching and the daily wear of a busy office environment. The base and mechanism are built to the same standard. This is a chair designed to outlast the office fit-out it is part of — and to retain its value long enough to be worth recovering and recycling at end of life.
That is what Full Circular design means in practice: not just made from recycled materials, but made to last, and made to be recovered.
Danish Design. Global Standard.
Denmark has set the global benchmark for design that is both functional and responsible. Wehlers carries that tradition forward — and verifies it. As Denmark's first B-Corp certified furniture brand, we are not asking you to take our word for our sustainability credentials. We have had them independently assessed, verified and published.
The R.U.M. sustainable office chair is the product of that commitment: designed by leading architects, built from verified waste materials, and backed by the most rigorous third-party sustainability certification available to a business.
