Wehlers

Wehlers is a Danish furniture brand based in Copenhagen with a circular agenda: it makes office chairs from responsibly sourced waste materials and certified wood, designed by architects. It was established in 2017 by Henrik Holm and Maria Fryd, who treat waste as a valuable resource and pair it with a strong design aesthetic. The company is B Corp certified and documents its footprint.

The R.U.M. chair, designed by C.F. Møller Architects, is made in Denmark and organised in material editions: Fisherman’s Green from recycled fishing nets, Keyboard Black from e-waste and Pharma Blue from recycled injection pens. A footprint as low as about 15 kg CO2e, zero virgin material and a full take-back are claimed for each piece. The range extends to armrest, barstool, sledge, stool and wheel versions, with R.U.M. Intelligence giving AI impact data.
