    Breaking the single-use cycle starts with a simple action: refilling your bottle, regardless of material. By turning these rankings into conscious habits, we can create a world where disposable containers are a distant memory. And because sustainability isn’t a competition—it’s a collective mission to protect our planet—let’s redefine hydration and pave the way for a greener future.

    Celebrating 8 Years as Platinum Partners with Humanscale. It’s been an incredible 8 years of partnership with Humanscale, and we wanted to take a moment to thank Bob King, CEO of Humanscale, for sharing his inspiring story with our Sales team today. As we celebrate our 8th year as Platinum Partners with Humanscale, we are reminded of the importance of collaboration in achieving true innovation and design excellence. At the core of Humanscale' s philosophy is the belief that good design improves people's lives, and this ethos has been evident in every product they have created. The partnership between Humanscale and Niels Diffrient, one of the most influential designers of our time, is a testament to this belief. Together, they have revolutionised the way we think about ergonomics and workplace wellness, resulting in products that not only enhance productivity but also promote overall well-being. But it's not just about the products – it's also about the people behind them. We are grateful for the opportunity to work closely with Bob and his team, whose passion and dedication have been instrumental in making Humanscale a leader in the industry. Bob, your insights into the innovation and dedication behind Humanscale have deepened our appreciation for the brand and its mission. We are proud to be part of your journey and look forward to many more years of shared success. #Humanscale #Partnership #Innovation #DesignExcellence #NielsDiffrient #Ergonomics #WorkplaceWellness #Collaboration

    The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, born from a grassroots exhibition, has become a global leader in LGBTQIA+ art preservation in the past 55 years. We are honored to partner with this institution through the incorporation of our World chairs into their recent office renovation. These chairs, recognized for their ergonomic innovation, reflect the museum’s commitment to progress and inclusivity. Just as the Leslie-Lohman Museum’s collection challenges societal norms, our World chairs redefine comfort in the workplace. Together, we celebrate artistic expression and the power of thoughtful design. Happy Pride Month from Humanscale - click on the link to read the full ELLE Decor article! https://lnkd.in/emnwzQWW
