FormSense Eco Knit^TM

Equally as innovative as Path's design is our FormSense Eco Knit^TM, a mesh-like textile providing self-adjusting lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, regardless of their height or weight.

Each stitch is individually controlled, creating intricate and systematic patterns with targeted zones of tension.

Its yarn is made with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester from upcycled plastic bottles. Since it is knit exactly to the shape of the chair, it eliminates the need for cutting or sewing, and creates zero waste.

Ergonomics

Our ergonomic considerations, like our approach to sustainability, are industry best. Our chairs are designed for inclusivity of the 95^th percentile of the population, ensuring a personalized fit to every body type.

Applying the laws of physics, our Gravity Mechanism^TM automatically adjusts recline support to each user, no bulky levers or knobs needed.

To complete the ergonomic design, we developed FormSense Eco Knit^TM, a mesh-like textile where each stitch is individually controlled and creates patterns with targeted zones of tension to create a beautiful and beautifully responsive experience. FormSense Eco Knit^TM conforms to the body, providing self-adjusted lumbar support and a tailored fit to every user, which makes Path the most individual custom fit chair in the industry.

Longevity

It's easy to make a chair look great when it comes out of the box. It is hard to make it look great after 8 to 10 years of heavy use. With this purpose, our design flows from function resulting in a chair that looks relevant after years of use. As with our efforts in sustainability and ergonomics, Humanscale tests our chairs beyond industry standard to ensure that our chairs look like new after 10 years.

Our seats, back and arms are replaceable without the need to discard the entire chair.
Unlike other brands, we do not use glue in upholstery process so our fabric won't delaminate or wrinkle over time.
Humanscale uses greaseless cylinders to ensure that dirt and grit doesn't build up and compromise the performance of the chair.
