Humanscale

Since its founding in 1983, Humanscale has been a pioneer in ergonomic design, creating products that improve health, comfort, and productivity across evolving work environments - from changing office floorplates to residential spaces and the growing landscape of third places. Known for innovations such as the Freedom chair by Niels Diffrient, Humanscale has redefined the standards for seating, sit/stand solutions, monitor arms, and task lighting, blending advanced functionality with a minimalist, timeless aesthetic. Each piece is designed with the human body in mind, relying on the laws of physics and the body’s own natural movement rather than complex mechanisms.

Humanscale’s commitment to design excellence is matched by its leadership in sustainability. The brand actively pursues a net positive impact—meaning that its products and processes give back more than they take. As the only major commercial furniture manufacturer in the U.S. certified as a B Corp, they are committed to creating positive impact. From designing products with recycled fishing nets to setting climate-positive manufacturing goals, every decision they make is guided by their mission to benefit both people and the planet. With a presence in over 28 countries, Humanscale continues to influence the way people work, live, and interact with their environments.

Over the coming year, the brand will introduce a series of innovative products and design initiatives, further advancing its mission to combine human-centered design with sustainability.
