Description
Humanscale Liberty Task chair is an intelligent mesh task chair engineered to provide automatic lumbar support for every user, as well offering simplicity and complete ease of use. Liberty was designed to offer a unique, minimal aesthetic and to provide custom comfort for every person who sits in it. Like Humanscale’s Diffrient Smart and Diffrient World chairs, Liberty uses Humanscale’s revolutionary Form-Sensing Mesh Technology and mechanism-free recline for perfect support and unprecedented comfort.
With a minimal aesthetic that complements any space, the Liberty chair is the ideal seating solution for the modern work environment. With advanced features, including automatic, weight-sensitive recline, arm rests that are attached to the back of the chair for constant support and an innovative tri-panel mesh backrest, Liberty combines performance, simplicity and beauty. With fewer parts than traditional task chairs, Liberty is a timeless and environmentally friendly design.
Liberty, with Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, is unlike any mesh chair you’ve seen or experienced. With its tri-panel construction, Liberty has the body-fitting contours that single-panel stretch mesh chairs simply can’t achieve. And it offers perfect recline and lumbar support for everyone, without external devices or manual adjustments. Ideal for the active workspace, Liberty promotes balanced movement throughout the day.
Liberty’s automatic fit and ease of use make it the perfect choice for conference room seating, where every occupant will feel comfortable and supported without having to worry about adjustments.
Office Seating - Liberty’s mesh back is formed by combining three panels of low-stretch mesh in the same way a tailor combines multiple pieces of material to form a shirt. So its contours are custom-made to both fit and support the human body in unprecedented comfort. Liberty has set a new bar for performance, simplicity, elegance and comfort. The weight capacity of Liberty Task Chair is 100-400 lbs.

Without manual controls to adjust, the user can change postures effortlessly throughout the day.

Designer
Niels Diffrient - Niels Diffrient's designs are grounded in the philosophy
that form follows function. His work has spanned generations, consistently
looking past trends to reinvent the tools we use for daily living.
With an academic foundation in design and architecture and a degree from
Cranbrook Academy, Diffrient channels his knowledge of engineering,
architecture, and human factors into the creation of highly functional and
aesthetically timeless designs.
From his early work with the studios of Eero Saarinen, Marco Zanuso, and Henry
Dreyfuss to his current work with Humanscale, Diffrient's visionary talent has
been widely recognized. Included among his many honors are the 2002 National
Design Award from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, and
the 1999 Chrysler Design Award. In recent years, Diffrient had focused his
energies on designs for the office environment, particularly seating - a
category in which he has pioneered numerous breakthroughs, from pneumatic
cylinders for seat height adjustment to weight-activated automatic recline.
Design Story
"I’ve always insisted that the back adjust to the person and we have this
unique Form Sensing Mesh that will accommodate any body shape and give you
appropriate back support. Whether you’re short, tall, wide, narrow, the back
will accommodate you." - Niels Diffrient, Designer.
Inspired to create a minimal but functional mesh task chair with curved lines
and a contemporary aesthetic, Niels Diffrient designed Liberty. As with the
Diffrient World chair, Liberty features an innovative tri-panel non-stretch mesh
backrest, which Diffrient said was based on the concept of a tailored men’s
shirt. He worked closely with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan to create a mesh
that was strong and supportive but still flexible."
