At Humanscale, Design + Technology = Simplicity

Humanscale may not have the name recognition of some others in this business, but their impact has been amazing. They're the kind of company that lets their products speak for themselves.

The hallmark of a Humanscale design is the sheer simplicity with which it solves a nagging problem.

The most common reaction I have whenever I first lay my eyes on a pioneering Humanscale product is "of course...that's so obvious." Truth is, it wasn't until they made it so.

How do they do it? Talent and focus.

Humanscale employs some of the world's best, most highly acclaimed designers, including industry luminaries like Niels Diffrient and George Mileos.

Their philosophy driving their product design really strikes a chord with me:

"Technology can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple. We believe in the latter approach and strive to design products that combine uncompromising function and honest aesthetics with ultimate ease-of-use."

It's that kind of focus that continues to earn them numerous industry awards.

Knowing, for example, that a truly ergonomic chair could make more of a difference to user health than most any other product, Humanscale launched their Freedom Chair in 1999. It's won 8 design awards to-date - including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition.

Why? Because the Freedom was the first to offer superior ergonomic support without the complex array of levers, knobs and locks you find on other high end task chairs.

You see the very same thing in their accessories, too.

Whether it's an adjustable keyboard tray, CPU holder or dolly, document holder, laptop holder or footrest, every Humanscale product is as rugged as the day is long. And each manifests the elegance of simplicity in its own unique way.
