Humanscale introduced Humanscale Living at Salone del Mobile Milano 2025, unveiling a curated collection of exclusive designs that brought ergonomic innovation into the heart of the home. Known for over 40 years of pioneering workplace comfort and wellbeing, Humanscale extended its legacy into the domestic sphere with designs that prioritised intuitive functionality and minimalist, timeless aesthetics.
Humanscale Living marked a significant evolution for the brand. 'Careful not to follow trends, Humanscale Living is a collection of minimalist timeless design that put intuitive functionality first,' the company stated. With this expansion, the collection introduced new product categories including stools, tables, and lounge seating—ideal for a more flexible, home-centred lifestyle.
Product highlights
The centrepiece of the collection was the Diffrient Lounge Chair, previewed ahead of its full launch at Fulton Market Design Days in June. Designed by renowned industrial designer Niels Diffrient, it 'merges exceptional comfort and beauty for the modern balance of work and leisure.' A bespoke recline mechanism enabled seamless movement within a slim profile. It also featured 'integrated USB charging, discreet adjustment buttons, and an optional swivel table,' making it ideal for work-from-home setups. 'A liberation from the desk, this next-generation lounge chair adapts to how you live, work, and unwind.'
The eFloat Quattro sit/stand desk brought ergonomic motion into home environments. With its light profile and broad range of premium surface options, it 'adds warmth to any environment whilst supporting healthy movement throughout the day.'
Ergonomic innovation extended to stool seating with Sedeo, designed by Don Chadwick. It came in bar and counter height versions and featured 'contours in the seat shell to encourage better posture and promote spine health,' with finishes that allowed it to blend into various settings.
Also featured was the iconic Freedom Headrest, a design that 'eliminated traditional adjustments and relied instead on the user's body weight and natural movements.' With its 'self-adjusting recline and dynamic support system,' it represented a cornerstone of ergonomic design for over 25 years.
Summa, described as "luxurious and effortlessly simple," included a weight-compensating recline mechanism and integrated armrests, making it a versatile option for both executive and occasional use.
Completing the showcase was the Trea Task Lite, a Red Dot Award-winning design by Todd Bracher. The chair 'mimics the human body's natural recline and embraces its sitter in a supportive shell,' while its net-positive certification meant that 'every Trea produced makes a quantifiable impact towards reversing climate damage.'
Humanscale's presentation in Milan reflected a broader vision: 'Humanscale Living rethinks what a workspace can be, creating solutions that integrate seamlessly into the home, both in function and form.' With a focus on sustainability, material integrity, and design longevity, Humanscale reaffirmed its position as a leader in ergonomic innovation for every environment.
