While previously endangered, Humpback whales have made a dramatic recovery since global whaling bans took effect – in tandem with restrictions on harvesting natural food sources like sand eels and menhaden. These whales, captured on video by our CEO Bob King, were feeding on large schools of sand eels which hatch from the sea bottom this time of year.

Furniture waste is growing and now accounts for 17 billion pounds of waste that end up in landfills each year. Refreshed is a first-of-its-kind circularity program that ensures our products get a second (and another, and another...) life, in an industry where manufacturers have focused on a single-use model. Refreshed reaffirms our long-standing commitment to sustainability and creates a roadmap for circular success for the industry at-large. Learn more, here: https://bit.ly/3yyPk5I

A JLL survey shows 73% of companies are moving to open, collaborative office spaces without dedicated desks. But open, collaborative office spaces pose challenges for adaptable furniture design. As Bob King noted, “Chairs are famously hard to adjust.” Humanscale’s solution: chairs that automatically adjust to user weight, providing optimal support without manual adjustments. This innovation is essential for flexible work environments where employees switch workstations daily, ensuring comfort and productivity.

In a world dominated by linear consumption, Humanscale is charting a new course. Our newly established Refreshed circularity program is a prime example of our dedication to responsible manufacturing. Humanscale has always prioritized circularity and sustainability, designing products with durability and easy repair in mind. By focusing on longevity, serviceability, and the use of recyclable materials, we continuously strive to extend product lifespans and reduce our environmental footprint. The Refreshed Freedom Chair, our first circular offering, exemplifies our belief that furniture and environmental responsibility can coexist. This innovative chair is designed to stand the test of time and serve as a sustainable alternative to disposable furniture.
