ABOUT THE DESIGN
As with all Niels Diffrient designs, Smart Conference emphasizes function above all else. This approach provides a streamlined sitting experience, with unparalleled support for nearly every body type. It also results in a timeless, minimalist, and universally appealing aesthetic, appropriate for any meeting or collaborative setting.
Please inquire with your local Humanscale office for product availability.
Featuring a weight-sensitive recline and Form-Sensing Technology, adjusting positions is intuitive and automatic, providing a custom sitting experience tailored to each sitter.
Designed to mimic the contours of the body, Smart Conference’s sculpted backrest and seat cushions minimize and relieve pressure points providing the perfect amount of support and comfort.
Smart Conference is completely upholstered in Maribo, a pliable, durable, and elegant semi-aniline leather. Tanned without harmful chromium, this chair is available in eight neutral color options.
Smart Conference is carbon negative, and its consciously selected material composition is comprised of recycled die-cast aluminum, environmentally neutral Chrome 3, and alternatively tanned leather.
Ideal for keeping chairs at one uniform height, our return-to- height cylinder options bring each chair back to its highest position when unoccupied.
Niels Diffrient's designs are grounded in the philosophy that form follows function. His work has spanned generations, consistently looking past trends to reinvent the tools we use for daily living.
With an academic foundation in design and architecture and a degree from Cranbrook Academy, Diffrient channels his knowledge of engineering, architecture, and human factors into the creation of highly functional and aesthetically timeless designs.
From his early work with the studios of Eero Saarinen, Marco Zanuso, and Henry Dreyfuss to his current work with Humanscale, Diffrient's visionary talent has been widely recognized. Included among his many honors are the 2002 National Design Award from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, and the 1999 Chrysler Design Award. In recent years, Diffrient had focused his energies on designs for the office environment, particularly seating — a category in which he has pioneered numerous breakthroughs, from pneumatic cylinders for seat height adjustment to weight-activated automatic recline.
