Wilkhahn

Wilkhahn was founded in 1907 by master carpenters Friedrich Hahne and Christian Wilkening near Hanover. Initially specializing in solid beech furniture, the company continued its rise to become an international furniture retailer after World War II with a clear focus on design. Wilkhahn shaped the modern understanding of design, particularly through its collaborations with prominent designers, such as the Bauhaus students.

Wilkhahn is committed to sustainable production and design innovations. Its production halls are exemplary examples of environmentally friendly construction, and since the 1990s, attention has been paid to environmentally conscious manufacturing. The use of photovoltaics and vegetable oil for energy supply contributes to the sustainable coverage of approximately 50% of energy needs. Wilkhahn has also distinguished itself through the high recyclability of its furniture.
