228 WiChair, Design: Wilkhahn
Authentic seating takes a bow. The WiChair is a compact, minimalist task chair that makes your day go with a swing. The chair’s clear design language makes it a subtle addition to any setting. And its color palette allows eye-catching splashes of color.
Despite its understated look, the chair exceeds expectations of comfort. The WiChair marries Wilkhahn’s DNA of dynamic sitting, timeless design and a consistently sustainable concept. Inspired by yesterday’s world, made for tomorrow’s.

Comfortable cushioning you can see and feel
With or without upholstery – the WiChair adapts to your style and comfort levels. Permanent upholstery or removable cushioning provide extra comfort and deliver even more design options.
3D dynamic sitting – technology made easy
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.
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.
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.
- Less is more: The WiChair consists of just a few components. Which saves material and boosts its lifespan considerably.
- Simple to repair: All parts are easy to dismantle and replace. As a result, the chair remains in use for a long time.
- Avoiding fossil-fuel based plastics: We use steel instead of petroleum-based plastics. Steel is stable, can be recycled an infinite number of times and has a comparatively low carbon footprint.
- Recyclable cushioning: Up to 40% of the optional foam cushioning is recyclable.
- Natural materials: The seat and backrest shell are made of FSC-certified plywood.
- Climate-friendly production: Each WiChair has a product carbon footprint of at least 31 kg CO₂ eq.

»Concave wooden surfaces, supported by curved steel, emphasize the friendly character of the WiChair — a perfect balance you can feel.«
