Humanscale has earned a prestigious spot at New York’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The office furniture manufacturer’s mesh technology and Liberty chair, designed by Niels Diffrient, will be included in “Design Life Now: National Design Triennial 2006,” on view at the design museum December 8–July 29.
Consisting of new American designs and innovative ideas created between 2003 and 2006, the exhibit is the museum’s third installment for the design triennial. Items on view range from animation, new media, fashion, and robotics, to architecture, product, medical, and graphic design.
The ergonomic Liberty chair incorporates three panels of non-stretch mesh—instead of a single, flat panel of stretch mesh. The unique design adapts to each individual user.
“Our belief is that a great design solves a functional problem as simply and elegantly as possible,” says Robert King, founder of Humanscale.
