How Humanscale Created the World’s Most Sustainable Office Chair

When Humanscale was founded in 1983, their focus was to create high-performance office chairs with an innovative approach to ergonomics. Skip to today, and they’re continuing to design and manufacture leading office chairs but with an environmental ethos. Claiming to have designed the world’s most sustainable office Chair, we’re looking at how they achieved that. 
With an impressive 26 net positive products to their name, we’re looking at what’s special about their new Humanscale Path Chair.
Humanscale has been leading up to this moment for a long time. The American brand created their Smart Ocean chair, partially crafted from plastic sourced from the ocean.

Made with recycled plastic sourced from the ocean

The Humanscale Path chair is manufactured with almost 10 pounds of ocean plastic - that’s 8 pounds more than the Smart Ocean chair. The yarn is made with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester sourced from upcycled plastic bottles.

Minimal design, minimum waste

Made to be an exact fit for each chair, there is minimum waste.
This minimalist design ethos extends to the rest of the chair. With an intuitive, self-adjusting mechanism, there are no unnecessary levers or design elements.

Sustainability awards and certifications

Their products are audited and validated by The International Living Future Institute. Rigorous sustainability criteria requires manufacturers to make their operations net positive, across a range of categories including place, materials, water and energy. The brand has also earned a number of environmental awards, including Metropolis’ Planet Positive award. 
Free of toxins, net positive and responsibly made, the Humanscale Path chair offers the most advanced eco-friendly design for office furniture.
