Where Dauphin makes its chairs

  • Germany. "With our production site in Germany" (quality page). The group reports "nine production sites in Europe, North America and South Africa"; Dauphin does not say which builds Indeed. Source.

Warranty and spare parts

Warranty: Indeed data sheet: 5-year guarantee according to Dauphin’s terms.

Spare parts: "All components can simply be replaced."

A maker's warranty is a voluntary extra. In the EU the seller still owes you at least the two-year legal guarantee; how the two fit together.

Environmental documents and take-back

Marks and certificates named in Dauphin's documents: ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 · EMAS · Blauer Engel (Indeed and others) · Quality Office · GS · AGR · FEMB level.

EPDs: Self-published two-page environmental declarations; no third-party verification stated.

Take-back and refurbishment: No formal take-back programme found. Modular design: parts over 50 g are marked, and Indeed can be dismantled in about five minutes.

What these labels prove, and what they don't: sustainable office chairs, by the numbers.

Buying Dauphin chairs in Europe

An official online shop (shop.dauphin.de) lists selected models, including Indeed, with prices including German VAT. Official store.

Buying from a store in another EU country? The rules on delivery, VAT and returns are in buying an office chair across borders.

What we could not verify

  • Which plant builds Indeed
  • Spare-parts period
  • Warranty for ranges other than Indeed
