The Humanscale World chair offers high performance with the ultimate simplicity.
Legendary designer Niels Diffrient's focus on simplicity led to the patented gravity mechanism found in World. It uses physics and the sitter's own body weight to provide optimised and automatic support without complex adjustments, so you can move effortlessly from position to position without operating manual knobs and levers.
Simplicity is at the core of Humanscale products. Each of their designs is incredibly easy to use with the fewest parts and controls possible. All this is achieved while offering the highest levels of performance and functionality. That commitment to simplicity led to the development of World: a high-performance task chair that fits one or 1,000 users.
No matter where you work, World offers personalised ergonomic support, with the flexibility to match any style or need. Choose the breathable ease of an all-mesh design for tailored support and a sleek aesthetic-or opt for a sculpted, high-density foam seat for firmer cushioning, upholstered in your choice of material for maximum versatility.
Simplicity for the user
The World chair has just two manual settings—one each for seat height and seat depth. All other fittings and adjustments are automatic.
Effortless ergonomic comfort.
With its weight-sensitive recline, the World chair automatically supports every user at every recline position. Its Form-Sensing Mesh Technology provides tailor-made lumbar support without external devices or manual controls.
Durability for More Comfort
Our Duron arm pads have a multi-layer design allowing for a softer cushion and a more durable cover.
Less is More
While the average task chair uses 200+ components, World is built with just 78. That simplicity reduces the need for ongoing maintenance and repairs, extending it's already long life.
