While many things in the office have changed, some pieces have stood the test of time. Niels Diffrient, the legendary designer behind Humanscale’s iconic Freedom Chair, believed that solving a functional problem simply and efficiently results in a beautiful and lasting form – not the other way around.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the Freedom Chair, Humanscale Founder and CEO Bob King will sit down with design journalist, editor and critic Julie Lasky for a conversation around Diffrient’s revolutionary philosophies and how they can impact all facets of design.
