Our Oceans Need Saving

  • 2050 More plastic than fish

    2050 More plastic than fish

    By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans. 
We're creating products that begin to reverse the damage already done.
  • Discarded Nets into Chairs

    Discarded Nets into Chairs

    When we first set out to turn discarded fishing nets into chairs in 2016, no other manufacturer had yet accomplished this feat. This made for an arduous start, but has become one of our most overwhelmingly impactful endeavors.

    Our approach to product development and manufacturing embodies our mission to not only minimize our impacts, but leave the world better off.

What is the Ocean Collection?

The Ocean Collection is Humanscale’s line of ergonomic chairs made using reclaimed fishing nets recovered from the ocean. It combines award-winning ergonomic design with a commitment to reducing ocean plastic pollution.


How are these chairs made from ocean plastic?

Discarded fishing nets are collected and processed into high-performance materials that can be used to manufacture chair components. This process helps divert plastic waste from marine environments while maintaining the durability required for professional seating.


Is sustainability already part of Humanscale’s design philosophy?

Yes. Sustainability is embedded in the design and manufacturing of all Humanscale products. The company prioritizes durable materials, responsible production, and products designed to last for many years.


What makes the Ocean Collection unique?

While all Humanscale products are designed with sustainability in mind, the Ocean Collection takes this commitment further by transforming reclaimed fishing nets into chair components, helping remove plastic waste from the ocean while creating high-performance ergonomic seating.


Are Ocean chairs still ergonomic?

Yes. Ocean chairs use the same ergonomic engineering found across Humanscale seating, including weight-sensitive recline, form-sensing support, and intuitive movement that adapts naturally to the sitter.
