Welcome to Humanscale where you'll find the world's best ergonomic chairs for office or home.

Though HumanScale is not yet well known to the average consumer, corporate purchasers know that Humanscale makes the best work chairs in the world – chairs that combine high-performance features with unprecedented simplicity and comfort. Our Freedom and Liberty chair lines were designed by legendary industrial designer Niels Diffrient, who is considered by many to be the world’s greatest chair designer. In fact, he’s one of only a small handful of designers who have been awarded the National Design Award in Product Design by the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. Both of Diffrient’s chair lines feature the ergonomic performance, simplicity and comfort that are trademarks of all Humanscale products.

Freedom Task Chair without Headrest
Freedom Task Chair
with Headrest
Winner of 10 design awards to date—including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition—the Freedom chair by Niels Diffrient has revolutionized the task chair industry. Its weight-sensitive recline, synchronously adjustable armrests, and dynamically positioned headrest set new standards for task chair performance and functionality to keep the sitter exceptionally comfortable while also lowering their risk of long-term injury. Since its launch, Freedom has been featured in dozens of feature films. It is also a regular on television shows such as 24, CSI Miami, House, and Boston Legal, and was named the number one holiday gift in eWeek.com’s 2006 “Geek’s Guide to Holiday Gift-Giving.”

With its patent-pending Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, the Liberty chair takes the benefits of mesh seating – breathability, durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal – to the next level. Designed by Niels Diffrient, Liberty provides exceptional comfort and perfect lumbar support for everyone, without external devices or manual adjustments. Its weight-sensitive recline mechanism ensures backrest tension is always perfectly adjusted to you. The Liberty seating collection has earned more than a dozen
design awards and was named “Best New Gear of the Year” by Men’s Journal.

Liberty is currently featured in “Design Life Now: National Design Triennial 2006” at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, in NYC.

The Saddle seat, part of Humanscale’s award-winning Freedom seating line, is the most comfortable and versatile stool ever made. Its unique, triangular cushion encourages users to sit in a ”saddle” posture, which lowers the thighs, opens up the hips and puts the spine into a healthy lordotic curve. The ”saddle” posture also reduces pressure points for long-term comfort and allows users to get closer to their work. It’s simply one of the most comfortable and healthy ways to sit!

Uniquely contoured triangular cushion allows multiple sitting positions for ultimate comfort

Height adjustable pneumatic cylinder accommodates a wide range of users and tasks.

Optional foot ring and high cylinders for specific applications.

Available in a wide variety of textiles, including wipeable vinyls for lab, cleanroom and healthcare use.

Comfortable Stress-Free Seating.

Today, executives spend almost as much time at their computer as their desk. BackSaver Executive Chairs adjust to fit all office tasks. Adjustable arm support is one of the key components of proper seating. With arms at the correct height and width, you relieve stress on your shoulders, neck and arms, and provide comfortable support no matter what your task. BackSaver Executive Chairs feature rich wooden arms that are easily adjustable. Simply lift the lever for height adjustment. For width, a locking knob is located conveniently under the seat.

Maximum Comfort Design.

Executive BackChairs, also feature a molded wooden shell to redistribute weight and reduce stress on pressure points. A WonderFoam® seat is standard on all Premium Leather models to further promote weight distribution. An adjustable lumbar support and a moveable cervical support pillow also provide for customized comfort. Entirely upholstered in luxurious top grain leather, handcrafted in the USA.

Available Back Cycler Promotes Flexibility And Circulation.

Developed, researched and tested by Dr. Rowland G. Hazard, M.D., F.A.C.P., the optional BackCycler Exercises the Spine while you sit. BackCycler's patented "air motion" system maneuvers the back without distracting manipulation. A built-in airbag inflates and deflates on a 25 second cycle to flex the lumbar region (lower 5 vertebrae) of the spine. This gentle spinal motion relieves stress in the supporting elements of the spine, improves nutrient flow, and keeps the vertebral joints from stiffening. BackCycler has been widely recommended by the medical profession. BackCycler Technology is available as a built-in option in the BackSaver Ultra Recliners and Executive Back Chairs.
