Specially crafted for the dynamic hybrid work landscape in India, New York head-quartered Humanscale, the global leader in office ergonomics, has introduced the’ Smart Conference Chair’ that takes intuitive comfort to a new level of luxury, suitable for any meeting space /conference rooms that accommodate in-office and hybrid meetings in which fewer people use a dedicated chair.
Adapted from iconic industrial designer Niels Diffrient's original, award-winning Smart Chair, the Smart Conference emphasizes function. "A smart chair adapts to your weight and shape automatically, as if the chair were made just for you," said Diffrient. This approach provides a streamlined sitting experience with unparalleled support for nearly every body type. It also results in a timeless, minimalist, and universally appealing aesthetic suitable for any setting.
Through the incorporation of Humanscale's Form-Sensing Technology, the Smart Conference chair provides an instantly tailored sitting experience for each user. Its weight-compensating recline grants exceptional ergonomic comfort from posture to posture. After a meeting concludes, return-to-height chair cylinders reset the room uniformly, ensuring a tidy appearance.
Humanscale’s Smart Conference chair would be available in India through its Authorised Distribution Partner S Cube Ergonomics Private Limited (S Cube) having their Exclusive Showroom and Ergonomics Experience Centre at Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, that caters to the All-India market.
“According to recent studies, the Hybrid Work model is continuing to rise in India emerging as the new normal (led by IT companies), finding increasing preference among employees and employers encouraging many companies to opt for collaborative and flexible office spaces,” said Sathish Nandagopal, Founder & Director, S Cube. “Humanscale’s Smart Conference chair is ideal for today’s office culture, where nobody keeps the same chair from day to day. It is made to flex to the sitter each time it’s used.”
"Functionality is at the core of good design. While the future of work life is undergoing major transformation in India, we saw an opportunity with Smart Conference to make the collaborative and flexible workplace effortless," said Alastair Stubbs, Country Director India, Humanscale. “Smart Conference intentionally meets the contemporary work culture, as fewer people use a dedicated chair anymore. From group projects and team gatherings to one-on-one private meetings, Smart Conference effectively facilitates collaboration and creative interaction.”
