Materials & Sustainability

  • Product Materials

    Liberty Ocean is constructed using die-cast aluminum, steel, engineered polymers, contoured seat cushion, multi-layer Duron arm pads, and upholstery textile. Die-cast aluminum and steel form the structural frame and recline mechanism. Engineered polymers are used for components requiring flexibility and impact resistance. The back features patented Form Sensing tri-panel mesh that takes on the exact shape of the sitter's back, providing a personalized fit and maximum adaptability. Ocean plastic, including discarded fishing nets upcycled from ocean and coastal environments, is incorporated into select structural components.

  • Upcycled Ocean Plastic

    Select components in this product are made using 2 lbs of upcycled plastic from ocean and coastal environments, including discarded fishing nets. Each unit produced diverts material from marine ecosystems while delivering the same performance as virgin materials.

Design By Niels Diffrient (1928–2013)

Niels Diffrient was a pioneering industrial designer known for his human-centered approach and belief that design should be intuitive and effortless. Often called “the last of the mid-century modernists,” he focused on simplicity, allowing form to follow function in its purest sense. A Cranbrook Academy graduate alongside Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, Diffrient went on to shape some of the most iconic products of the 20th century. His work at Henry Dreyfuss Associates helped define modern industrial design, while his research into human factors redefined how products support the body. His partnership with Humanscale introduced a new standard in seating, creating designs that automatically adapt to the user. Diffrient’s legacy lives on in products that are simple, timeless, and designed to improve the human experience.

    Very comfortable overall

    Very comfortable overall. The mesh is supportive without being stiff, and I like that it doesn’t trap heat. The recline is smooth and natural. I do wish the seat had a touch more padding for really long days, but it hasn’t been uncomfortable.

    Great back support

    We ordered one to test and it turned into five more. The automatic lumbar support is subtle but very effective. I’m about 240 lbs and it supports me just as well as it does my smaller coworkers

    I've owned a lot

    I’ve owned a lot of ergonomic chairs over the years. This one stands out because of how little I have to think about it. You sit down and it adapts. The back support meets you where you are instead of forcing a position. After a full week of long days, I realized I wasn’t stretching my back every hour like I used to. That’s saying something.

    Originally chose Liberty Ocean

    I originally chose Liberty Ocean because of the recycled fishing nets story, I’ll admit that. We’re trying to make more sustainable purchasing decisions at our firm. What surprised me is how good the chair actually feels. The mesh back kind of molds to you without feeling saggy. I don’t touch a single lever all day and somehow it just supports me. It’s the first chair I’ve had where I don’t constantly fidget with adjustments.

    I'm 6'3 and usually

    I’m 6’3” and usually struggle with chairs that feel too short in the back. This one adjusts itself when I lean back and I can feel the lumbar support settle in automatically. No knobs, no fiddling. It’s subtle but effective. Also appreciate that it’s made from reclaimed fishing nets.
