Bruce Sterling Reviews The Freedom Chair From Humanscale

I am looking for a new chair, I remembered Bruce reviewed this back in July 2000 -- wow! It has been awhile.

Reviews The Freedom Chair From Humanscale


Thus, the Freedom chair is free of controls. There's one lever on the thing - for adjusting seat height. Beyond that, there are no knobs, locks, or buttons. The arms move up and down in tandem when you gently pluck them forward. You can set the chair's height, you can adjust the seat pan a little, and you can toggle the backrest so the curve hits the small of your back, where it belongs. That's it. You shouldn't have to think about the chair again, or touch a knob.
