Löffler Journey

Since 1992, Löffler has been synonymous with ergonomic, innovative, and handcrafted seating solutions. As a manufacturer, we seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, setting new benchmarks in quality and sustainability. Every swivel chair and stool features our exclusive ERGO TOP technology, designed to encourage active, dynamic sitting, keeping the body in motion for optimal comfort and health.

 
 

1992

Löffler ERGO GmbH

Founding

In a small barn, the story of Löffler began in 1992 – driven by the idea of rethinking the way we sit. From this vision, a company has grown over the years that stands for high-quality furniture and deep ergonomic expertise. From the very beginning, it was never just about design, but about understanding how sitting can support the body, relieve strain, and improve everyday life.

ERGO TOP Technology

ERGO TOP technology was developed in close collaboration with the ergonomics department of the Technical University of Munich. Based on the principle of a gym ball, it enables active sitting by engaging the back muscles and relieving pressure on the spine. Scientifically grounded and still unique to this day.

Today

Löffler ERGO GmbH

Furniture for Life

Our ambition is to create furniture for life – pieces that support, provide comfort, and continue to bring joy for many years. “For life” stands not only for everyday use, but also for longevity: high-quality materials, precise craftsmanship, and a commitment to lasting design. The result is a conscious alternative to today’s throwaway culture – furniture made to stay.

Our Philosophy

Our ambition is clear: to create furniture that not only looks good, but above all supports healthy sitting throughout the day. In collaboration with the Chair of Orthopaedics at the Technical University of Munich, we developed our ERGO TOP technology. Based on the principle of a gym ball, it strengthens the back muscles, relieves pressure on the spine, and supports healthy, focused work.

Löffler ERGO GmbH

Furniture for Life

We create furniture designed to accompany people throughout their lives – supporting daily routines, promoting healthy sitting, and bringing lasting comfort and balance to everyday life. At the same time, “for life” stands for longevity. Our furniture is made with exceptional care, high-quality materials, and craftsmanship designed to endure for decades – not for a moment, but for a lifetime. This approach reflects our clear stance against today’s throwaway culture. We do not design furniture that needs to be replaced every few years, but pieces that are built to last.

Our quality promise is quite simple: every piece of furniture is handcrafted in our manufactory, 100 % Made in Germany. We work exclusively with European suppliers, which allows us to trace the origin of every component right back to its source.
