Interstuhl

Interstuhl is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of office chairs and office landscapes — founded in 1961 in Meßstetten-Tieringen (Swabian Jura, Baden-Württemberg) by two blacksmiths, Wilhelm and Werner Link. The blacksmith trade had been a tradition in the Link family since 1731; Wilhelm Link took over the Tieringen village forge in 1930. As demand for farrier work declined after the Second World War, Wilhelm and Werner Link developed sewing machine bases in 1960 — and recognised the need for suitable seating for the many seamstresses in the textile industry. The first chair, the Bi-Regulette, arose from this observation. First patent in 1962 for height adjustment. The brand name "Interstuhl" was introduced in 1967. Today Werner Link chairs the management as an independent family business together with his sons Joachim Link (technology) and Helmut Link (sales) and his sister Leonore Link. Approximately 1,000 employees, over 30 million chairs sold.

Corporate group and brands: Interstuhl (office chair and office landscape), Bimos (industrial and laboratory chair — market leader in Europe), Backforce (gaming/eSport, Made in Germany), goconut (cloud-based office space management for hybrid working), Intensor (3D laser scanning of buildings/digital twin), InterTranspo (furniture transport). Interstuhl product collection (selection): VINTAGEis5 (German Design Award Winner 2017, Smart Motion Technology — dynamic seat tilt without a switch, operated by fingertip), PUREis3, JOYCEis3 (FlexGrid back support), EVERYis1, AIMis1, Silver (executive chair, design: Hadi Teherani), MOVYis3, UPis1, SPLACES (holistic office landscape), WHAT IF WE FLY (mobile furniture for agile working, design: Frank Hesselmann + Simon Blake, 2022).
