Who cares about chairs?

When you're facing client deadlines, an overflowing inbox, and a Zoom meeting that's about to start in 10 minutes, you're probably not giving much thought to the furniture around you.
​
At best, your chair and desk might seem like simple commodities as you focus on getting important work done.
​
But not all chairs are created equally. For one, improved ergonomics can boost productivity. The constant back pain I was getting from sitting in a budget-friendly desk chair made it much harder to concentrate for long stretches. But when I scored a used-but-perfectly-good Humanscale chair, my comfort skyrocketed, along with my ability to type away as I pleased.
​
Infomercial aside, chairs don't have to just be tools that support your sustainability work. Your choice of office furniture can make an impact too. And Humanscale, as we explore in our latest feature, goes beyond just trying to reduce environmental harm.
​
It's easy to focus on the forest of big-picture sustainability efforts like energy transitions and miss the trees of smaller yet still important decisions like the furniture we choose and meals we eat. Each of these decisions by themselves might not mean much, but they can add up to significant change, especially when our actions inspire others to join in, as Humanscale's trying to do.
