SUSTAINABILITY
Clever sustainability – for today, tomorrow and the day after
Sustainability isn’t just in the WiChair’s details, it underpins the whole concept. From the design phase and choice of materials to production, the objective was to use resources efficiently, embrace a circular economy and create lasting quality.
SIMPLE TO REPAIR
All parts are easy to dismantle and replace. As a result, the chair remains in use for a long time.
LESS IS MORE
The WiChair consists of just a few components. Which saves material and boosts its lifespan considerably.
CLIMATE-FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
Each WiChair has a product carbon footprint starting at 31 kg CO₂ eq.

A wooden chair that puts a smile on your face. Its springy curved steel bracket means the WiChair moves forward, backward and sideways with you. The fun design of its weight adjustment option invites you to try it out and adapt the chair to your body and preferences.
Whether 45 or 120 kilograms, just turn the knob to adjust the WiChair to your weight. Forget the tools or guesswork. Just turn the knob and you’re good to go.
