Wilkhahn is a German office furniture manufacturer operating as Wilkening+Hahne GmbH+Co. KG. It states that it stands for "Design made in Germany" worldwide like no other manufacturer in the office furniture industry, offering high-quality office and dynamic conference furniture that sets standards for the entire industry. The company traces its origins to a chair-making factory founded in Eimbeckhausen near Hanover by Friedrich Hahne and Christian Wilkening, whose names were later combined to create the company name Wilk-hahn. It describes a history of more than 100 years and a socio-ecological approach, including environmental responsibility practised for over 20 years and an EMAS-validated, ISO 14001-certified environmental management system at its headquarters in Bad Münder.

Wilkhahn traces its origins to a chair-making factory founded in Eimbeckhausen near Hanover by Friedrich Hahne and Christian Wilkening; the two founders' names were later used to create the company name Wilk-hahn. High-quality, solid beech chairs were made from wood from nearby forests, and the manufacturing plant did not differ greatly from the other 100 or so small and medium-sized chair manufacturers in the area. In 1907, Fritz Hahne and Adolf Wilkening took over their fathers' chair factory. The company states that it has stood for design, innovation and quality for more than 100 years, and that some 60 years ago it made better utility value, long-lasting design and durability its goals. Milestones it cites include the classic FS-Linie office chair (1980), the Confair folding table (1994), the Modus office chair (1994), the Aline chair with glides (2004) and the Graph conference programme (2013). More recent examples of pioneering innovation it names are the Occo universal chair and the ON, IN and AT chairs with three-dimensional movement. Wilkhahn also describes a socio-ecological approach: as winner of the German Environmental Prize, it has worked with architects Frei Otto and Thomas Herzog and has actively practised environmental responsibility for over 20 years; office chair ON has received the Federal Ecodesign Award.
