Humanscale Previews It’s First Ever Lounge Chair Paying Homage To Revolutionary Industrial Designer Niels Diffrient

Humanscale’s presents the Diffrient Lounge, conceptualized by Niels Diffrient, the “Father of Ergonomics.” Developed using the brand's unrivaled ergonomic capabilities with outstanding craftsmanship, it combines work with relaxation. The lounge revolutionizes home seating through unparalleled adjustability, stemming from meticulous ergonomics.

Neils altered the world of design through his belief that chairs should adapt to the user, not the other way around. His partnership with Humanscale began in 1998 when he developed the distinguished Freedom chair. During his partnership he conceived the design for a lounge that could equally share comfort with task functionality. Neils once stated, ‘‘The best way to know what people want and need is not by asking them, but by understanding them.”
