Esteemed designer Niels Diffrient invented the ergonomic chair of dreams that forgoes levers and knobs to bring you the best in seating solutions without the hassle of manual adjustments. The Humanscale Freedom Chair with Headrest’s supremely ergonomic design works with your body weight to let you move and recline the seat hands-free.

Ergonomic support comes in all shapes and sizes, with many bells and whistles to help you find that supportive sweet spot. Choose your ideal seating setup – pick your arms, cushion contouring, seat height, upholstery options, and floor casters – with the hugely popular Humanscale Freedom Chair you can feel what better ergonomics can do for your work style just by changing up the way you sit.
Looking for an ergonomic chair with optimal breathability to the back? The can help bring you to a more comfortable working experience with a single seating upgrade.

The Design Story
Diffrient wanted to create an office chair that was revolutionary in concept and adjusted automatically to everybody that sat in it. Diffrient had a passion for aviation, and grew up drawing and building model planes. In 2002 during a TED talk, he shared the design processes that went in to the creation of the Freedom chair, and explaining how the disciplines between aviation flight and office chairs were connected.
“With the airplane you learn a lot about how to deal with the air, for a chair you have to learn a lot about how to deal with the body, and what the body needs, wants, indicates it needs. And that’s the way, ultimately after some ups and downs, I ended up designing [Freedom].”
