Revolutionary Mesh

Liberty’s translucent mesh textiles were designed by Elizabeth Whelan

to provide optimal ergonomic support and comort by melding strength,

fexibility and resiliency. They surpass the perormance criteria or

contract seating textiles and meet a variety o environmental standards

in both the United States and Europe. They have a pleasing hand that

is gentle to the touch. In act, these mesh oerings were specically

designed to be gentle on your clothes as well.

Humanscale is committed to environmental sustainability and continually strives to design, engineer and manuacture products that—

compared to others in the same class—consume less o the Earth’s limited resources. This is accomplished by creating products that:

• Weigh less, requiring less raw material

• Use ewer parts and manuacturing processes

• Contain a high percentage o recycled content

• Contain a high percentage o recyclable content

Whenever possible, Humanscale uses aluminum as its material o choice. Our aluminum is 100% recycled and recyclable. It never

degrades, so it can be reused over and over again. And because recyclers are paid a premium or aluminum scrap, we believe that the

aluminum in our products will almost surely be recycled when the time comes. Using aluminum usually costs us more than plastics or

other alternatives, but our products are better or it. And so is the environment.

The Liberty chair is a great example o Humanscale’s environmental mission:

• Made predominantly o aluminum

• Contains 58% to 85% recycled content

• 93% to 98% recyclable

• Lightest in class

• Designed or easy disassembly

• Ships in 40% recycled packaging, or blanket-wrapped when easible
