Office Chairs

You’ve probably heard that spending too much time sitting down is bad for you. The research is everywhere; sedentary lifestyles can shorten our lifespan significantly, increasing our likelihood of contracting things like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even cancer.

Working from home has tons of benefits including more flexibility, no commuting, and wearing casual clothes. However, it’s essential to have a space that you can dedicate to your work. Trying to work from the dining room table or the kitchen counter isn’t ideal.

His focus on the human experience made him the ideal match for Humanscale, who also place value on creating products that can enhance the lives of people all over the world.
