Design Story
From Ocean to Office - "A smart chair adapts to your weight and shape
automatically, as if the chair were made for you personally." - Niels Diffrient,
Industrial Designer, Ergonomics Pioneer Drawing inspiration from the three
dimensional-approach tailors take when creating suits, Niels Diffrient wanted to
build a minimal mesh chair with a back that automatically fits the user. As a
result, when you sit in our mesh task chairs, they fit you like a perfectly
tailored shirt.
In 2016, Humanscale began a partnership with Bureo - an emerging venture
developing innovative solutions to prevent ocean plastic pollution.
Environmental Story
Smart Ocean utilizes material from discarded ocean fishing nets collected and
recycled by Bureo, an emerging venture developing innovative solutions to
prevent ocean plastic pollution. The nets are transformed into plastic pellets
and then used to manufacture Smart Ocean chairs. Smart Ocean is the first-ever
ergonomic chair to be built with recycled net and is also certified by the
International Living Future Institute to the full Living Product Challenge -
meeting the most rigorous sustainable manufacturing criteria to date.
Like every Diffrient Smart chair, the Smart Ocean has a lightweight design that
minimizes the environmental impact of its shipping. Made of 100% recycled
aluminum, its simple, modular design makes it easy to disassemble and maintain
rather than replace the chair completely. All Diffrient Smart chairs are
GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality, GREENGUARD Gold and level 2 certified.
