HumanScale Liberty Mesh Back Drafting Chair with Arms

Humanscale Liberty Mesh Back Drafting Chair with Arms
Dynamic Support at Elevated Working Heights
The Humanscale Liberty Drafting Chair brings Liberty’s self-adjusting ergonomic support to elevated desks, high benches and sit-stand workstations.
Designed by Niels Diffrient, Liberty uses a Form-Sensing Mesh backrest and automatic weight-sensitive recline to provide responsive support without complicated manual controls.
The elevated seat height is combined with a footring, giving the feet a stable support surface when working above conventional desk height.
There is a reason why the Humanscale Liberty Chair is one of the most recognised office task chairs throughout the world, its function is equally as appealing as its unique form.
It's form-sensing and tri-panel mesh allows for a better fit to the individual than a single panel mesh backrest can offer.
The Liberty's counter-balance recline mechanism doesn't require any form of manual adjustment, this intelligent chair provides the right amount of support through the full range of recline, regardless of the individuals body shape and weight.

Who Is It For?
Suitable for users who:
- work at elevated desks, counters or benches
- require a higher-than-standard task chair
- use a sit-stand workstation and want an elevated seated option
- prefer automatic rather than manually controlled recline
- want breathable mesh back support
- require arm support during computer or task-based work
Problem to Solve
A conventional office chair is often too low for an elevated work surface.
Simply raising the seat without supporting the feet can leave the legs unsupported and increase pressure beneath the thighs.
The Liberty Drafting Chair combines elevated seat height with a supportive footring, while its automatic recline and Form-Sensing Mesh back adapt as the user moves.
