Liberty Task Chair | Ergonomic Seating from Humanscale

About Liberty Task

With a minimal aesthetic that complements any space, the Liberty chair is the ideal seating solution for the modern work environment. With advanced features, including automatic, weight-sensitive recline, arm rests that are attached to the back of the chair for constant support and an innovative tri-panel mesh backrest, Liberty combines performance, simplicity and beauty. With fewer parts than traditional task chairs, Liberty is a timeless and environmentally friendly design.

Effortless Recline

Liberty’s intelligent mechanism-free recline uses the laws of physics and the sitter’s weight to automatically provide the perfect amount of support through the full range of recline. Without manual controls to adjust, the user can change postures effortlessly throughout the day.

Custom Fit

Liberty’s mesh back is formed by combining three panels of non-stretch mesh material in the same way a tailor combines multiple pieces of fabric to create a shirt. Its contours are made to custom fit and support each individual sitter throughout the day.

Encourages Movement

Liberty was engineered to automatically adjust to whoever sits in it, instantly accommodating each user regardless of size and weight. Because it has no manual adjustments and features Humanscale’s weight-sensitive recline, the user can move easily and without restrictions.

Customer Reviews

Former Herman Miller chair owner - Very pleased with my purchase

No more back problems when working from home. I wish the arms would be adjustable in width instead of just going up and down. However, solving back pain while working many hours was the objective and I'm pleased.

My back says thank you

I've occasionally "borrowed" my wife's Liberty Task chair, now I have my own, and my back says "thank you" - I actually feel good after even a short time working at my desk.

Best Chair

This is the best made office chair I've ever had. The height adjustment is gas assist, the arm height adjustment also matches my elbows. The forearm pads are gel filled and comfortable. I work for long periods and this chair is great year after year. The seat is high quality leather and still looks like new. The back is comfortable and breathes. I won't need another chair.

Awesome work station chair!

We love this chair! We got these for our staff, most of whom have to sit at a work station for hours at a time. They love that they can customize the back support, height, and reclining capabilities. It's a very comfortable chair. A+++

Design Story

"I’ve always insisted that the back adjust to the person and we have this unique Form Sensing Mesh that will accommodate any body shape and give you appropriate back support. Whether you’re short, tall, wide, narrow, the back will accommodate you."

Niels Diffrient, Designer

Inspired to create a minimal but functional mesh task chair with curved lines and a contemporary aesthetic, Niels Diffrient designed Liberty. As with the Diffrient World chair, Liberty features an innovative tri-panel non-stretch mesh backrest, which Diffrient said was based on the concept of a tailored men’s shirt. He worked closely with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan to create a mesh that was strong and supportive but still flexible.

Textile Options

Unlike typical mesh work chairs, Liberty's range of mesh textiles work with the chair's supportive framework to provide the utmost comfort in any setting.

Monofilament Stripe

Made specifically for our tri-panel, mesh-backed chairs, Monofilament Stripe has an elastic composition that achieves strength through its distinctive weave structure to provide unmatched support. Its classic stripe pattern is available in various striking colors.
