The award winning Humanscale Freedom Drafting Chair is every bit the same, comfortable and stylish Freedom Chair but with a taller seated height range that is perfect for taller work surfaces or sit to stand desks. No thought or effort is needed to recline or change positions and movement is a key goal when seeking a healthier work environment. Highly contoured cushions provide excellent back, lumbar and lateral support with a feel reminiscent of the car seats in a luxury sports car. To date, the Humanscale Freedom Chair has won 10 design awards. Humanscale Freedom Drafting Chair Standard Model Features:

The standard Humanscale Freedom Chair can still be customized to meet your comfort and style requirements.
Choose from no arms, height adjustable arms, or height adjustable arms with a pivoting armpad, and from two different types of armpads, as well as whether or not you want the armpads upholstered to match your chair.
![]() |
Buy Smart: The advanced arms pivot inward which allows the arms to better support the forearms and elbows, and to bring the armpads closer for thinner bodies. Those who type all day and/or have thin upper bodies will prefer the advanced arms. |

Buy Smart: Fabric arms get dirty and wear out before the seat cushions. We recommend skipping the upholstered armpads except on leather chairs or where the chair will see light use. |
Choose either the standard foam seat or gel seat.
Buy Smart: The gel seat takes 15 minutes or so to warm up and conform to your body. It's a great upgrade for those who sit in their chair for long stretches. We recommend the standard padding for those who are up and down, or if the chair sees occasional use.
Buy Smart: The larger foot ring decreases the distance inward that your feet rest. This is better for circulation.
