Humanscale is obsessed with simplicity— making products that are incredibly easy to use with the fewest parts and controls possible—while at the same time offering the highest levels of performance and functionality.

Simplicity: For the User The Diffrient World chair has just two manual settings—one each for seat height and seat depth. All other fittings and adjustments are automatic. With its weight-sensitive recline, the Diffrient World chair automatically supports every user at every recline position. And its Form-Sensing Mesh Technology provides tailor-made lumbar support without external devices or manual controls. That means we’ve replaced knobs, levers and instructions with effortless ergonomic comfort.

Simplicity: For the Environment Weighing just 25 pounds and made of one-third the parts of traditional task chairs, the Diffrient World chair requires far less raw material and fewer manufacturing processes—and that means less extraction, energy, waste, shipping and disposal associated with its lifecycle. In fact, the environmental impact of the Diffrient World chair is roughly half that of an average task chair. Plus, its modular design further boosts its already-long serviceable life with easy in-field upgrades and part replacements. By the way, it’s 97% recyclable too.
