R.U.M. Armrest – Keyboard Black is a sleek, sustainable design armchair crafted from recycled E-waste plastic. Featuring integrated structural armrests and an iconic architectural frame, it is engineered to meet the highest demands of commercial workspaces, corporate meeting rooms, and professional B2B environments.
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 Austria and processed to meet rigid high-traffic standards.
Use & Versatility - With its integrated armrests and superior support, this R.U.M. model performs exceptionally well as a sustainable office boardroom chair, a design-led conference chair, or a durable dining chair for high-end public and private spaces. Whether it is specified for commercial workspace projects, public contract furniture installations, or a modern private home, this chair is engineered to handle long-term heavy use while fitting perfectly into a shared ambition for a green, circular future.
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.
