A Sustainable Approach to a Legendary Chair

An inventive adaptation of the legendary Diffrient Smart chair and the first ergonomic task chair made with recycled fishing nets.

Description

The Diffrient Smart chair is an intelligent mesh task chair with a striking linear aesthetic that complements any environment. Engineered to provide automatic lumbar support for every user, as well as simplicity and ease of use, Diffrient Smart offers comfort, style and flexibility. Diffrient Smart was created by designer Niels Diffrient and, like Humanscale’s Liberty and Diffrient World chairs, uses Humanscale’s revolutionary Form-Sensing Mesh Technology and mechanism-free recline for perfect support for every user.

IT’S UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The ever-growing deluge of plastic pollution in our oceans has a tremendous impact on human health and on the health of our natural environment.

  • 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean each year.
  • 640,000 tons of fishing nets enter the ocean each year.
  • The amount of plastic pollution in the ocean will surpass the amount of fish by 2050 if nothing changes.
  • Fishing nets are identified as the most harmful form of ocean plastic pollution.

Recycling and repurposing plastic keeps it out of the ocean and helps to mitigate many environmental issues.

In addition to partnering with Bureo to protect our oceans, Humanscale is a founding partner of the Next Wave Initiative. Led by Lonely Whale, this consortium includes companies such as Dell and GM and is focused on developing a distribution web that would support the reuse and repurposing of plastic before it ever reaches the ocean.
