ABOUT THE DESIGN
Humanscale products have always been built for reuse due to their modular design, inherent durability, serviceability, and the use of healthy, non-toxic materials. With Re-Freshed, our products stay in use and out of landfills for a healthier work setup and planet.
The refurbishment process begins with the disinfection and careful disassembly of each chair, followed by detailed inspection, treatment, and reassembly of components to ensure top quality. All Re-Freshed chairs are restored with new casters, textiles, gas cylinders, and arm pads. Finally, every chair undergoes a rigorous final inspection and is packaged for shipment.

"My idea was that, instead of sitting down and reaching for a lot of controls, that you would sit on the chair, and it would automatically balance your weight against the force required to recline."
Niels Diffrient, Designer
Eager to create a truly ergonomic task chair that adjusted to the user automatically, Niels Diffrient created Freedom, which allows the sitter to change postures effortlessly. Replacing the traditional recline mechanism with a weight-sensitive one, Diffrient’s Freedom task chair revolutionized the way people sit.
