The Wehlers Circular Design Manifesto
Setting the New Standard for Circular Office Furniture
We are committed to ending the linear take-make-dispose model. Our pledge is not just to reduce impact, but to set a definitive standard for transparency and circularity in the global design industry.
01. Waste is a Resource
We view waste as a valuable raw material. We actively divert plastic, electronic, and pharmaceutical waste from landfills and oceans to create high-quality, circular furniture.
See our Circular collection here.
02. Total Transparency (PEF Data)
We utilize quantified, certified data, such as Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) details for every component.
View our detailed environmental calculations here.
03. Design for Disassembly
Every product is engineered to be easily disassembled into core material streams. All parts are available as spare parts, ensuring a life-cycle approach to office furniture.
04. Long-lasting Aesthetics
We reject fast-design trends. Our commitment is to timeless, aesthetic longevity for modern workspaces.
05. The Take-Back Guarantee
Every item comes with a clear, reliable take-back commitment. We close the loop. Read our Circular Take-Back Guarantee here.
06. Drastically Reduce Carbon Footprint
Minimizing the embedded CO2 footprint, prioritizing regional, low-impact processes. Calculate your Co2 impact here.
07. B Corp Before Profit
We prioritize purpose over pure profit.

The Wehlers Circularity Filter
We do not partner with any supplier who fails to answer 'Yes' to both questions:
-
Can you make what we need?
-
Will you take back what you deliver, and re-cycle it for new products after use?
