Humanscale wants to own the home office

from Business of Home Podcast · host Business of Home

Bob King founded Humanscale in the early 1980s, just as personal computers were becoming common in the office, and workers had no idea how to sit properly to use them. Now his company, which today supplies chairs to corporations like Apple and Google, finds itself at another pivot point, as millions of Americans look for ways to make working from home work for them. On this episode of the podcast, King speaks with host Dennis Scully about what makes for a good home office, the challenge of making a good-looking ergonomic chair, and what designers can do to push for real sustainability from their manufacturers. This episode is sponsored by Ben Soleimani and SideDoorLINKSHumanscale Dennis ScullyBusiness of Home
