Promotion: US work furniture brand Humanscale premiered its comfort-focused Humanscale Living collection at Salone del Mobile last week.
At the Milan design week trade fair – the world’s largest of its kind – Humanscale presented its Living collection, including six products, incorporating a preview of the soon-to-be-released Diffrient Lounge chair.
The curated selection was chosen to highlight Humanscale’s growing work-from-home offering.
Designed by industrial designer Niels Diffrient, the Diffrient Lounge is Humanscale’s first lounge chair in over 40 years of trading.
Featuring a small integrated work surface and articulating back and headrest, it facilitates working away from a desk.
The preview in Milan precedes the Diffrient Lounge’s official launch at Fulton Market Design Days in Chicago this June.
Also on show at the Salone was the soon-to-be-released eFloat Quattro, an electric sit/stand table.
An addition to the Float family, the Quattro’s four rounded legs afford a light profile that helps it fit more naturally into a home environment.
As well as these new designs, the Humanscale Living display also featured more established products in the brand’s seating portfolio.
Among them was the ergonomic Sedeo stool. Created by industrial designer Don Chadwick, the Sedeo’s contoured seat shell encourages good posture and spine health, and is available in both bar and counter height.
The Freedom chair, designed by Diffrient, is a Humanscale product well-known for its self-adjusting recline and dynamic support system, which uses the sitter’s weight and movement to adjust without the need for knobs and levers.
The luxurious Summa – which doubles as a task chair or an occasional chair – has a weight-compensating recline mechanism and integrated armrests.
Finally, the customisable and certified climate-positive Trea Task Lite was designed by Todd Bracher to mimic the body’s natural recline. It combines a supportive shell back with a waterfall edge to soften pressure on the back of the knees.
