Warranty and spare parts

Warranty: 10 years on all products and spare parts.

Spare parts: The 10-year warranty covers all products and all spare parts, including gas springs and mechanisms.

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 Interstuhl's documents: ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 · EMAS · ISO 45001 · ISO 50001 · Blauer Engel (EVERYis1, PUREis3, JOYCEis3) · Quality Office · GS · FEMB level · BIFMA LEVEL Platinum.

EPDs: No EPD found on product pages or the sustainability page.

Take-back and refurbishment: Products returned after use are collected and passed to certified waste companies; Interstuhl states about 20% recycled content and about 98% recyclability.

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

Buying Interstuhl chairs in Europe

An official online shop for Germany and Austria (shop.interstuhl.com) sells fixed editions of current models, for example EVERY ACTIVE (EVERYis1 EV266) and PURE ACTIVE (PUREis3 PU213), with prices including VAT. Other configurations are sold through dealers. 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.

Some links on this page are commercial.

Studio Office also lists Interstuhl JOYCEis3 (JC216), Interstuhl PUREis3 (PU213); prices and delivery terms are on each chair profile.

What we could not verify
