Top-quality brands
We rework furniture built to last, restoring the look, comfort and durability expected from the original manufacturer.
Office furniture
Remanufacture your old office furniture.
Instead of disposing of desks, chairs and workstations, we refurbish, repair and restore them to like-new condition — reducing waste and carbon footprint.
Guaranteed quality
Sustainable chair remanufacturing without compromise.
We give premium seating from Vitra, Bene, Herman Miller, Humanscale, Knoll, Haworth, Sedus and more a second life without compromising on performance or comfort.
Our advanced facilities can remanufacture up to 150 task chairs each week. Every chair follows a meticulous renewal process designed to meet high standards of quality and durability.
Our remanufacturing process
A complete second life for office seating.
- 01
Collection & inspection
We collect existing office chairs, whether they are five, ten or even twenty years old, and assess every item before refurbishment begins.

Expert disassembly
Our engineers dismantle every chair down to its smallest components, cleaning, inspecting and repairing each part, bolt and bracket.
- 03
Reconditioning & reassembly
Using original components wherever possible, we rebuild approximately 80–85% of chairs from the original batch while maintaining authenticity and performance.
- 04
Quality assurance & warranty
Every remanufactured chair undergoes rigorous quality checks, is reboxed and supplied with a warranty of up to five years.
