The Humanscale Path chair. For every body.
Path is built differently, instantly adapting to each real body type straight out of the box. Designed in collaboration with Todd Bracher Studio, Path uses physics to comfortably fit 95% of all body types the moment they sit, no complex adjustments required. Whoever you are, it’s been made to feel simple and body inclusive, performing effortlessly so you can too.
Most chairs are made to fit an imaginary “average” body type, forcing each real person sitting in it to adjust knobs and levers until they’re comfortable. The further that person’s height or weight is from the “average” midpoint, the more work it takes. As a result, most chairs are either adjusted incorrectly, or not at all – resulting in poor posture, unhealthy work habits, and a host of more serious problems over time.
Like all Humanscale designs, Path is engineered for body inclusivity. Each Path contains a patented Gravity Mechanism™ that utilises bodyweight rather than bulky, complex controls. As you sit, the mechanism engages. When you recline, it gently lifts, so your body becomes the natural counterbalance, and is firmly supported wherever it stops. This creates virtual pivot points that allow Path to move with you in complete harmony.

A path for everywhere.
Path’s warm, versatile aesthetic is a direct response to the rapidly evolving workspaces of today and tomorrow. Its softly rounded silhouette accents any environment - whether in the office, at home, or anywhere in between, providing open, elevated simplicity. A suite of personalisation options goes a step further and lends Path chameleon-like adaptability, so it matches and enhances its surroundings, instead of redefining them.
FormSense Eco Knit™.
Equally as innovative as Path’s design is its FormSense Eco Knit™, a mesh-like textile that conforms to the body, providing self-adjusted lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, regardless of their height or weight.
Path is the world’s most sustainable task chair.
Through the industry’s most rigorous and comprehensive testing, Path has been certified ‘climate positive’, meaning each time one is made, the planet is measurably better off.
Path incorporates nearly 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of recycled material, including fishing nets from the ocean, which is the most harmful form of pollution to our marine ecosystems.
Internal Gravity Mechanism™.
Applying the innate laws of physics, instead of bulky levers and knobs, our Gravity Mechanism™ provides automatic support as soon as someone sits in the chair, and even when they recline, simply by using the sitter’s weight to provide a personalised sitting experience
The right path for you.
While Path is already designed to adapt effortlessly to any workspace, our full suite of textiles, chrome-free leathers, bases and arms are all available to lend complete personalisation. Whether it’s for the board room, the living room, or the hotel suite, we make it simple to forge a Path of your very own - from the ground up - to ensure it perfectly matches your needs.
