Path chair was designed to feel warm and natural in most interior settings. It's simplified, softly rounded silhouette adapts to any environment, whether in the office or home.
Path builds on Humanscale’s 25 years of innovative engineering, developing simple products, encouraging movement, healthy postures, and functioning and looking as new after years of use. Designed in collaboration with Todd Bracher Studio, Humanscale's design goal was to create a task chair that is simple, beautiful, and challenges our industry-standard of complex mechanisms that require minimal adjustment.
As the pioneer of ergonomics, Niels Diffrient aimed to redefine the concept of the traditional task chair and instead design seating solutions that efficiently adapt to users, allowing them to move freely from posture to posture. Diffrient’s unique approach removed complexities found in other chairs, such as cumbersome recline levers and back tension dials. He realized that movement during recline took the pressure off the user’s body and transferred it to the back of the chair. As a result, he developed the weight-sensitive, self-locking recline mechanism, definitively reinventing the features of modern task seating to be truly simple, beautiful, and functional.
FormSense Eco KnitTM,
Revital is an exclusive 3D Knit textile that is made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester derived from upcycled plastic bottles.
Equally as innovative as Path's design is our FormSense Eco KnitTM, a mesh-like textile is providing self-adjusting lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, regardless of their height or weight.
Each stitch is individually controlled, creating intricate and systematic patterns with targeted tension zones. Its yarn is made with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester from upcycled plastic bottles. Since it is knit exactly to the chair's shape, it eliminates the need for cutting or sewing and creates zero waste.
Lotus provides unbeatable durability that's ideal for healthcare and hospitality environments and is water-repellent and easy to clean.
Corvara, a top, full-grain leather, is semi-aniline dyed and offers a smooth, silky feel with ultimate durability.
Ticino, also a semi-aniline dyed and top corrected leather, comes in various rich colors inspired by nature.
Fabric Durability
Humanscale has a steadfast commitment to creating products that will stand the test of time. Developed to endure the constant movement of the sitter, our fabrics feature durable properties that support users of all shapes and sizes. Rigorously tested, our textiles are backed by a robust warranty and guarantee the same, brilliant aesthetic and performance on day 1,000 as on day one.
