The Chair for Every Body
Designed to adjust to your body as if it were made for you.
Patented Technology
Each Path contains a patented Gravity Mechanism™ that uses bodyweight rather than bulky controls. As you sit, the mechanism engages. When you recline, it gently lifts, so your body becomes the natural counterbalance, and is firmly supported wherever it stops. This creates virtual pivot points that allow Path to move with you in complete harmony.
FormSense Eco Knit
Equally as innovative as Path's design is its FormSense Eco Knit™, a mesh-like textile made from upcycled plastic bottles that conforms to the body, providing self-adjusted lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, regardless of height or weight.
A New Path Forward
Path represents a new generation of chairs, upcycling more plastic waste than any other chair in the industry. It's also our 26th climate positive product, giving back more to the planet than it takes each time it's made. No other company matches us in environmental stewardship. We have certifications across areas like: Healthy Materials, Material Transparency, Level® Certification and Sustainable Operations, to name a few.

Arm Support That Moves With You
Just like the human body, Path's arms are attached to its back, which allows for a more natural and supportive sitting experience.
Built to Last
Our exhaustive testing ensures that Path looks and feels like new after more than a decade of heavy use - while retaining perfect function.
9.49lbs of Ocean Plastic
By removing and upcycling harmful fishing nets and other ocean plastic, Humanscale helps restore delicate ecosystems.
Clean Gas Cylinder
Our cylinders are cleaner and more reliable than conventional cylinders. Unlike other chairs, our patented design seals grease in the lower unit to protect both user and chair.
Durability With More Comfort
Our Duron Arm Pads have a multi-layer design which is softer and five times tougher than standard arms.
The Design Story
Carefully considered.
Designed by Todd Bracher.
"Path is not simply an exercise in aesthetics or an assembly of pre-existing components, rather it is ground up mechanical invention, material innovation, coupled with next-level sustainability."
