This is what’s behind Vluv.
We.
The idea
Healthy sitting is active sitting. And that began about 30 years ago with the use of PVC exercise balls in many offices. But exercise balls had disadvantages. They rolled away, were sticky, cumbersome, and unattractive. Since early 2015, with VLUV we have revolutionized the market and turned a rubber ball into a comfortable piece of seating furniture and a minimalist design object. Since then, we have developed into the world’s leading provider of air-filled seating options.
The story
The company was founded in 2009. Kristof Hock, inventor and owner, started at home at the living room table. An old moped shed served as both production site and warehouse. Today, our team has grown to 7 employees, with numbers rising. Our company headquarters with extensive office and storage spaces is idyllically located in a factory over 100 years old, 40 km east of Cologne. Here we develop, design, and distribute our stylish products for ergonomics, movement, and sport.
Our values
VLUV is an owner-managed family business. We place as much value on aesthetics, quality, and sustainability as on a relaxed working atmosphere. What we do, we do with pleasure. We pay attention to as sustainable detailed solutions as possible in all areas. Our manufacturers are strictly selected according to quality, environmental, and social standards such as ISO or BSCI certification. Our fabrics all have Oekotex100 standard without exception. Our packaging is continuously improved. For example, when introducing our BOL seating balls, we still used 6 plastic bags and have now been able to reduce this to only one absolutely indispensable bag.
