R.U.M. Original – Pharma Blue is a sustainable design chair made from recycled medical plastic and pharmalit, engineered for both high-end residential spaces and professional B2B environments. Pharma Blue products contain high-quality plastic materials sourced from used pharmaceutical resources, mainly insulin pens. By collecting and reusing this eco-bound medical waste, we minimize landfill dependency and maximize the potential of these valuable healthcare materials. We utilize the waste material from exactly 142 insulin pens to produce one single chair, with all pharma waste being responsibly collected and processed in Denmark to support a localized circular economy. Use & Versatility - R.U.M. is highly versatile, performing exceptionally well as a sustainable office chair, a healthcare environment task chair, or a durable dining chair for public and private spaces. Whether it is integrated into commercial workspace projects, contract furniture installations, or used in a private home, the R.U.M. chair is engineered to take a beating. It is a premium design piece that satisfies modern office seating demands 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. C.F. Møller Design collaborates internationally on the innovative development of functional products for people, buildings, and cities. 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 for public spaces, modern corporate offices, 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.
