The Path chair from Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of ergonomic products that improve the health and comfort of work life.
The World’s Most Sustainable and Ergonomically Advanced Task Chair for Every Body
A revolution in everyday work seating, Path combines integrated ergonomic support with a customizable aesthetic to fit any work environment. Products are engineered to simplify complexity. No matter where you work, Path seamlessly adapts to meet your needs.
The world’s most sustainable task chair yet, Path is setting a new standard for sustainability in the furniture industry.
Made from nearly 22 lbs of recycled content including ocean plastic, post-consumer plastic bottles, and post-industrial material, every component of the chair except for the screws was designed and engineered by Humanscale.
Over the course of a month, each of our reviewers spent as much time as they could working from the Path chair and the verdict is in – Path offers the best of both worlds! Comfort and function.
This chair is comfortable, looks great, and is sustainable. What more could you want in a chair?
The seat has an internal gravity mechanism that automatically adjusts to each user based on their bodyweight, so no need to worry about fumbling around with manual chair adjustments! The height adjustability is fine. Our reviewers felt supported in the lower lumbar area through long days of catching up on emails and video calls. They thought the aesthetic of the chair was equally as impressive as its comfort and sustainable footprint. It is soft with round edges and fits and gives off warmth and comfort. The textiles and color options are all rich and luxurious, while still remaining durable and environment-focused.

Ergonomics
Developed using the laws of physics, The Gravity MechanismTM automatically adjusts recline support to each user, no bulky levers or knobs needed.
To complete the ergonomic design, the development of FormSense Eco KnitTM was executed. A mesh-like textile where each stitch is individually controlled and creates patterns with targeted zones of tension helps create a beautiful and beautifully responsive experience.
Longevity
Humanscale tests chairs beyond industry standard to ensure that chairs look like new after 10 years.
-
- The seats, back and arms are replaceable without the need to discard the entire chair.
- Unlike other brands, Humanscale does not use glue in upholstery process so their fabrics 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.
Inclusivity
Most chairs only consider an overall target at the 50th percentile average weight of all genders. Path has a unique weight compensation mechanism. This means that 95% of the population can sit comfortably on the chair. Humanscale considers everyone and every body when designing seating.
