Description

Founded in 1982, Humanscale is generally recognized as the leading manufacturer of ergonomic products for the office. Our many offerings help ensure that individuals who spend hours each day in front of a computer, do so in maximum comfort and with minimal long-term health risks. To achieve this result, our philosophy regarding product design is this: Technology can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple. We believe in the latter approach and strive to design products that combine uncompromising function and honest aesthetics with ultimate ease-of-use.Next to the chair, an articulating keyboard support is the most important component of an ergonomic workstation. Humanscale entered the articulating keyboard support market in 1997 with the Freedom Arm, which won a Best of NeoCon Award that year for its revolutionary functionality. By 1998, it had become the worldwide leader in keyboard support sales. Our next keyboard support, the 2G, won Gold in 1999 at both NeoCon and IIDEX and picked up where the Freedom Arm left off - by quickly becoming the market leader. Today, with our fourth-generation mechanism, the 4G, added to our stable of keyboard mechanisms, Humanscale remains the worldwide market leader in articulating keyboard supports.Knowing that a truly ergonomic chair could make more of a difference to user health than most any other product, Humanscale entered the task seating market in 1999 with the Freedom chair, which has won 8 design awards to-date - including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition. In a relatively short amount of time, the Freedom chair has revolutionized the task chair industry and has set new standards for task chair performance and functionality. And our new product introductions, such as the M7 line of monitor arms and the Personal SafetyKits, continue to push the boundaries of innovation and technology to create a safer and more comfortable work environment. In 2003 the M7 won Gold in the Best of Neocon contest, confirming Humanscale's position as a leader in ergonomic product design.
