Sitting still is particularly unhealthy and very uncomfortable. The knobs and levers on traditional task chairs have kept people sitting still for decades.
Freedom changed that.
The Gold Standard in Office Seating
The Innovation That Changed
Everything
Niels Diffrient replaced the locks, knobs and springs that are under older generation chairs with your body weight and the laws of physics so you can move effortlessly from one position to another, making it feel as if the chair were custom-made for you or whoever happens to be sitting in it at any given moment.
Synchronous Arms
Our innovative synchronous arms, designed to allow you to effortlessly change your arm support with one hand.
Dynamic Headrest
Freedom Headrest dynamically supports the head and neck as users recline. It moves with the sitter for seamless comfort in any position, no manual adjustments needed.
The Design Story
An icon, 60 years in the making.

Designed by Niels Diffrient.
Recognised as the father of ergonomics, legendary designer Niels Diffrient focused on the human experience to inspire innovative products. He revolutionised task seating by inventing a chair that adjusts the the sitter, rather than making the sitter adjust to the chair.
