Humanscale is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Freedom Chair, an office chair that redefined ergonomic design when it was introduced in 1999 by visionary designer Niels Diffrient and Humanscale founder Bob King. Together, they revolutionized workplace seating by removing the eyesore mess of knobs and levers, creating a chair that intuitively adapts to the user’s body weight and movements for effortless support ? without the need to fiddle with manual adjustments.
