![]() Humanscale specifically designs their products to be highly personalized and when customizing a chair on their website, there is an option for just about everyone in every industry from typical office settings to healthcare industries where options such a water repellent seat textile are important. Humanscale offers several options for each component on their chairs. The casters used on the Liberty are extremely well-made. I chose standard hard casters, no fire proofing and the base upgrade section had already been filled out because I chose the Polished Aluminum frame. Per the Humanscale website the standard cylinder is “Appropriate for 95% of users”, so that was an easy decision. I asked that company to tell me which type chairs they used and sure enough, they were Humanscale Libertys which used the standard seat pan. I never knew what type of chair it was but when I was customizing this one, I noticed how similar the design was. The reason I chose a standard foam seat pan was because years ago I had sat in a Humanscale Liberty chair at an office years ago and what I remembered most was how comfortable the seat was. ![]() Here is the standard foam seat pan with Corde 4 black textile. The same goes for the seat textile, Corde 4, the Humanscale representative recommended that as it is their most popular offering. When you run into a question while customizing your chair, a quick call will get you back on track! Speaking of which, Humanscale’s customer support/sales team is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Here you can see the unique tri-mesh design the Liberty employs to create provide the most comfortable and comprehensive back support I’ve ever experienced in an office chair! The back mesh design I chose is called Monofilament Stripe, this decision was the easiest I simply asked a Humanscale representative what she enjoyed. The polished aluminum base is quite striking in person. The frame color I chose is Polished Aluminum which when paired with the black colored back mesh looks extremely sharp and modern to me. It has a really great, smooth yet durable feel. Here’s the adjustable Duron arm in Corde 4 black textile. Furthermore I chose the textile material for the arm rests so they would match the seat of the chair. I’ve had adjustable chair arms for quite some time now and once you grow accustomed to them, it’s difficult to go back to a chair without that feature. Humanscale allowed us to customize the chair to our own specifications and here’s why I chose each part. Frame Color: Polished Aluminum w/Black Trim.Armrest/Armpad: Adjustable Duron Arms with Textile.The chair we received was customized in the following configuration: I’ve never had such a large product that required such simple assembly. We put the base on our tile floor, inserted the cylinder into the base and then placed the chair on top of the cylinder. The Liberty that was shipped to us arrived in a large box and I have to admit I was so excited to put it together and try it out that I completely forgot to take pictures… However, it was shipped in three pieces: the chair base, the cylinder and the chair seat/back. Likewise, the Humanscale M/Connect 2 is yet another expertly executed product that instantly makes itself indispensable. Our experience with the Humanscale M8.1 monitor arm has been nothing but spectacular in every aspect. To this day, Humanscale products continue to encompass Mr. Niels Diffrient believed in function achieved in a minimalistic and effortless form. One world’s most respected industrial designers, Niels Diffrient, partnered with Humanscale in the late 90’s and his designs include the venerable Freedom chair as well as the Liberty, Diffrient World and Diffrient Smart. For those of you who don’t know, Humanscale is among the top ergonomic office furniture manufacturers in the world.
