Diffrient World Task Chair

Diffrient World is Humanscale's first foray into all-mesh task seating. Designer Niels Diffrient created a minimalist, full-function task chair with an innovative tri-panel mesh backrest that provides custom back and lumbar support. The lightweight design eliminates the need for traditional mechanisms, instead using the laws of physics to offer perfect recline for any individual.

The Invisible Recline Mechanism harnesses the user's body weight to automatically provides the right amount of recline for every individual, every time by leveraging two parts of the chair's frame to provide automatic, balanced support throughout the full range of motion for max support.

Diffrient developed the chair's back, which eliminates requirement for separate lumbar support which tends to create pressure points and requires manual adjustment; with patented Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, backrest perfectly conforms to the sitter's entire back as if custom made.

Truly lightweight, this chair replaces standard cushion seats with low-abrasion, non-stretch mesh; to max comfort, front edge of chair is eliminated solving a perennial problem of hard edges placing pressure on knees and contact stress behind the thighs, allowing long-term comfort and total supports for every sitter.
