With 2026 fast approaching, the new year inspires fresh habits and renewed routines, bringing a sense of restored energy while supporting both mental and physical wellbeing.
We spend a significant portion of our lives working, and one of the most impactful — yet often overlooked — places to start is the workspace itself. Reshaping the home working environment to promote physical comfort and posture can have a meaningful and direct impact on wellbeing and day-to-day productivity. Humanscale is a global leader in ergonomic designs, manufactures beautifully engineered, intuitive product solutions, designed to support and promote healthier habits.
Designed so the workspace and furniture adapt to the user rather than the other way around Humanscale’s products reduce physical strain and effort, supporting a healthier mind and creating an environment that enhances focus and performance. From award-winning seating and advanced sit/stand desks to intelligent task lighting and streamlined charging options, Humanscale products are designed to help people work smarter, feel better, and reduce daily stress in their home offices.
World task chair
A truly productive workspace begins with the right chair and Humanscale's ergonomic seating remains an industry benchmark. Engineered to move with the user, Humanscale chairs automatically adjust to posture changes, providing perfectly balanced support throughout the day without manual controls or complicated levers.
One of Humanscale’s most celebrated designs is the World task chair, designed by renowned industrial designer Niels Diffrient. World offers effortless ergonomic support through innovative simplicity with a streamlined, lightweight design and tailored mesh comfort. Adapting to every user, World promotes health and wellbeing anywhere work happens. For anyone embracing healthier habits in the new year, upgrading to truly ergonomic seating is an essential place to start.
eFloat Quattro
Movement is essential for cognitive function. Prolonged sitting is linked to fatigue, discomfort, and long-term health complications, making movement an essential part of modern home offices. The eFloat Quattro makes it easy to incorporate purposeful movement into the day with its refined four-leg frame and smooth sit/stand flexibility. Just a few minutes of standing each hour can boost circulation, reduce fatigue, and support long-term health. eFloat Quattro makes this transition effortless with seamless adjustability, empowering users to incorporate movement naturally throughout the day.
Nova Task Light
With short daylight hours in the UK at the start of the year, lighting becomes crucial for mental wellbeing. Poor lighting contributes to eye strain, headaches, and reduced focus. Humanscale’s Nova Light is engineered to provide exceptional, glare-free illumination designed specifically for modern work. The combination of advanced technology, modern design, and thoughtful engineering creates a superior task light and a high-performance light, ideal for video calls.
Unlike most LED lights, Nova is designed with multi-layer light guide technology, where LEDs are arranged around the periphery of the lamp head, and directed inwards to the layered light guide. This redirects the light outward, eliminating glare and hot spots and producing even illumination. The resulting uniform beam of light is gentler on the eyes making it a superior choice for a variety of tasks, and improving the users focus.
M2.1 Monitor Arm
No matter how you work, sitting, standing, or somewhere between Humanscale’s monitor arms adjust to even the most extreme positions, so you don’t have to. The M2.1 monitor arm allows users to position their screen at the ideal height and distance, preventing neck, shoulder, and back strain that comes from leaning forward throughout the working day. Through effortless and smooth movement, M2.1 encourages positive working habits to support healthier posture, better focus, and a more comfortable workflow.
Float Mini
As work becomes increasingly flexible, a healthy workspace should suit both your habits and your surroundings. Winner of the Red Dot 2025 ‘Best of the Best’ award, Float Mini combines ergonomic performance with a warm, residential-inspired aesthetic that makes sit/stand working more accessible than ever. Its compact, height-adjustable design encourages natural posture changes throughout the day, supporting comfort and boosting circulation. With thoughtful material choices, including sustainable bamboo and natural linoleum, and a lightweight frame that is easy to move or stow when not in use, Float Mini is designed for the modern and adaptable lifestyle - reinforcing healthier daily habits in your workspace, without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
A foundation for your best year yet, Humanscale’s products create a workspace that supports both physical comfort and cognitive health. By reducing stress, improving focus, and encouraging healthy daily habits, an organised home office becomes a supportive foundation for a more balanced and productive year ahead.
