The NEW Path Task chair sets a new standard for environmental stewardship, as Humanscale pushes the envelope again for environmentally conscious products. The PATH utilizes recycled material from discarded ocean fishing nets, which are transformed into plastic pellets and then used to manufacture products that begin to reverse the damage that is being done by polluting the oceans with plastic. These nets transform into the patented Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, that provides perfectly tailored comfort. 

Equally as innovative as Path’s design is it’s new fabric – FormSense Eco KnitTM, a mesh-like textile providing self-adjusting lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, regardless of their height or weight. Each stitch is individually controlled, creating intricate and systematic patterns with targeted zones of tension. Made with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester from upcycled plastic bottles. Since it is knit exactly to the shape of the chair, it eliminates the need for cutting or sewing, and creates zero waste. Click the upholstery swatch icon above to see the fabric offerings.

Humanscale has always led with design innovation. All of their chairs are engineered to automatically adjust to each person by using their own bodyweight and the laws of physics, rather than traditional recline mechanisms and springs. This saves over 50 parts and 15 pounds of material, creating a product that’s better for the sitter and better for the environment. Path is certified by the International Living Future Institute to the full Living Product Challenge — meeting the most rigorous sustainable manufacturing criteria to date. Find out more by watching the short video in the tab above.
