The best workspaces adapt to the way we move, not the other way around. Yet many office environments still treat posture as fixed, rather than fluid. At Humanscale, we're exploring how thoughtful design can make movement a natural part of the day, without interruption and without compromise. A new addition to our standing desk family coming soon.

Humanscale ranks #1 in our industry by CDP for environmental impact and transparency. CDP, the global benchmark for environmental disclosure, has just released its 2023 scores, and Humanscale has earned the top spot in our industry. CDP independently evaluates companies on their climate, forest, and water data, setting the standard for environmental transparency and performance. This recognition reflects the incredible work happening across our teams to reduce and report on our impact with integrity and depth. A few words from our Chief Sustainability Officer, Jane Abernethy, on this achievement: “Proud of my team and many others throughout our company who work so hard to address our climate impacts. It’s nice to see their efforts recognized.” The companies listed alongside us are the only other organizations in our industry participating in CDP’s disclosure process. Take a look at how we compare. You can learn more about CDP, here: https://cdp.net/en
Our first post on AI’s take on office chairs and sneaker brands sparked such a fun conversation, we had to revisit it. The idea? Comparing top commercial furniture brands to sneaker icons. Think comfort meets performance meets serious design street cred. When AI paired us with On Running, one of the most forward-thinking sneaker brands out there, we couldn’t help but smile. A perfect fit in our opinion! Since we got so much love on this, we’re sharing the full brand-to-brand lineup. Let us know: which pairing surprised you? And which one nailed it?
Here’s something powerful: The ThinkLab 2025 Benchmark Report found that top design specifiers influence up to 140x more product decisions than the average American. That’s because they’re helping choose not just one chair—but thousands of materials, finishes, and furnishings across dozens of projects. At Humanscale, we believe every one of those decisions is a chance to do better for the planet. Choose ocean-bound plastic? That’s impact. Cut water waste? That’s impact. When design decisions scale, so does change. #EarthMonth #ImpactByDesign #SustainableDesign #MaterialsMatter #Humanscale
Plastic waste in our oceans is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. At Humanscale, we’re addressing it head-on by designing products using reclaimed fishing nets. By transforming ocean plastic into long-lasting materials, we’re showing that design can be a tool for restoration. Watch to learn more about our Ocean chair collection: https://bit.ly/3Ey7mYS
Happy Earth Day! 🌎 At Humanscale, we’re reminded every day that our work is connected to something bigger. Did you know that Earth Day started with a photograph? The photo, known as “Earthrise,” was taken by astronauts who looked back and saw our planet as it truly is: small, beautiful, and deeply worth protecting. That shift in perspective still drives our mission today. We design for people, but always with the planet in mind. #EarthDay #Humanscale #PlanetPositive #DesignWithPurpose #SustainabilityLeadership
Being first isn’t the goal—changing the standard is. We’ve always believed that design should be better for both people and planet. That belief has guided every decision, every innovation, and every challenge we’ve taken on. Our goal isn’t just about reducing harm, it’s about reshaping the systems we work within and leaving them better than we found them. Sustainability isn’t the future, rather it’s at the foundation of our every pursuit. #EarthMonth #DesignForImpact #PlanetPositive #SustainabilityLeadership #InnovationWithPurpose
