Products: Humanscale is introducing three collections for the workplace, including desk equipment that aims to boost wellbeing and the ergonomic Freedom Headrest office chair.
The Freedom Headrest chair was designed by Humanscale in collaboration with the late Niels Diffrient, while the other two collections ? WellGuard Separation Panels and QuickStand Eco ? were developed solely by the furniture brand to help improve wellbeing and productivity in the workplace.
The Freedom Headrest was developed as an ergonomic alternative to conventional office chairs
Freedom Headrest is an office chair designed by Humanscale and Diffrient to automatically adapt to the changing posture of the sitter. It incorporates an automatic recline mechanism and a headrest that work together to provide total support of a person's spine. The chair was intended to offer a more ergonomic alternative to conventional office seats, which are typically reliant on awkward dials and levers for posture adjustments.
The QuickStand Eco computer stand is meant to create active workstations
One of the two collections of desk equipment on show is the QuickStand Eco ? an adjustable stand for laptops and computers that encourage people who work at desks to move between sitting and standing positions.
Humanscale's intention is to support the creation of "active workstations" in offices, which can help to reduce the negative effects of sedentary behaviour and simultaneously boost productivity.
