Freedom with Headrest

Famously dubbed the "gold standard in office seating" by the New York Times, the Freedom Chair is an iconic ergonomic masterpiece designed by Niels Diffrient. Revolutionizing the way we sit, the Freedom Chair eliminates cumbersome knobs and levers, utilizing physics and the sitter's own body weight to provide automatic, continuous support. Engineered for a truly universal fit, it effortlessly accommodates users from 5’ to 6’4” in height and 100 lbs to 400 lbs in weight.

Key Features:

• Intelligent, Self-Adjusting Recline: Replaces traditional tension springs with a weight-sensitive, self-locking recline mechanism. It automatically adjusts to your size and provides a smooth 20 degrees of movement, allowing the angle between your torso and legs to open up naturally.

• Dynamic Headrest (Optional): Designed to cradle the head and neck, this position-sensitive headrest offers 5” of vertical adjustment. It automatically moves into place as you recline and slides out of the way when you sit upright (Note: This chair can also be ordered without a headrest).

• Synchronized Armrests: Attached directly to the back of the frame rather than the seat, these synchronous arms move in tandem with you. Using a natural lift-and-release action, your arms stay in the exact same relation to your body as you change posture.

• Automatically Pivoting Backrest: An extra pivot in the backrest provides 7 degrees of tilt, automatically adjusting to the changing needs of your spine to deliver dynamic, continuous lumbar support.

• Contoured Cushions & Waterfall Seat: Sculpted cushions mimic the natural contours of the body to decrease pressure points, while the cascading waterfall edge relieves pressure on the back of your legs to promote healthy circulation.

Build & Sustainability:

• Heavy-Duty Durability: Boasting a modular construction built for decades of daily use and safely rated to support up to 400 lbs.

• Eco-Friendly: Certified GREENGUARD Gold for indoor air quality and manufactured using highly recyclable materials (up to 35% recycled content).

• Customizability: Available in a wide variety of fabrics—including premium leather—with multiple frame and base finishes like graphite, titanium, and polished aluminum.
