Re-Lived: A New Way to Buy Sustainable Furniture

At Wellworking, we believe in giving great furniture a second chance. That’s why we created Re-Lived®, a collection of expertly refurbished office furniture from top brands like Herman Miller, HAG, and Knoll. Not only do these high-quality pieces look and perform as good as new, but they also contribute to a more sustainable future.

Now, we’re making sustainable shopping even more exciting with Nibble, our AI-powered negotiation tool. Want a fantastic deal on eco-friendly office furniture? With just a few clicks, you can negotiate your price in real-time and walk away with a bargain.

What is Re-Lived?

Re-Lived® is all about extending the life of great furniture. We source our pieces from ex-display models, pre-owned items, and corporate returns, then refurbish them to the highest standards. Our expert engineers meticulously restore each item, ensuring it meets our quality benchmarks while significantly reducing waste and environmental impact.

Launched in 2024, Re-Lived® is a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to buying new furniture—without compromising on style or performance. 

Why Choose Re-Lived?

  • Sustainability at Heart – As a certified B Corp, we are committed to reducing landfill waste and supporting the circular economy.
  • Quality You Can Trust – Every item is refurbished, tested, and backed by a two-year warranty.
  • Affordable & Unique – Our Nibble feature puts you in control of pricing, making sustainable furniture even more accessible.
  • Simple & Fun – No awkward haggling—just a smooth, automated negotiation process that saves you money effortlessly.

Our Circular Approach

We take sustainability seriously. That’s why we source high-quality office furniture from trusted suppliers, including customer returns, transit-damaged stock, and corporate buybacks. If a product can’t be fully restored, we repurpose its components to minimise waste. Any leftover materials are responsibly recycled. 

How Do We Refurbish Furniture?

Every Re-Lived® product undergoes a rigorous assessment and restoration process by our qualified engineers, something we call Reworking®. For office chairs, we conduct an 8-point service check, including:

  • Support: Lumbar support is tested for proper function
  • Arms: Checked for wear and damage
  • Seat & Back: Inspected for sagging, damage, and comfort
  • Seat Height Adjustment: Gas lift is checked for leaks and correct function
  • Tension Control: Assessed to ensure it provides smooth recline and resistance
  • Base: Inspected for damage and resprayed if needed
  • Adjustment Mechanisms: Tilt functions tested for smooth operation
  • Castors: Assessed for correct type and wear.

After a thorough clean and sanitisation, the furniture is ready for its new home!

Re-Lived for Business

Re-Lived® isn’t just for individuals, businesses can also benefit from our sustainable approach to office furniture.

When refurbishing an office, we can audit your existing furniture and restore what’s possible to incorporate into your new design.

Alternatively, if your current furniture no longer fits your workspace but is still usable, we can refurbish and rehome it through Re-Lived®. Our in-house experts can clean, re-upholster, and repair cherished items, giving them a new lease of life while helping your company reduce its carbon footprint and meet ESG goals.
