We Know Sitting

With over three decades of knowledge and research, we understand sitting and how to support people at work. Our commitment to your comfort and the science of sitting is grounded in our history of strong global design, engineering, and manufacturing—and our ergonomic expertise. Since 2004, we’ve partnered with the Human Performance Institute at Western Michigan University to generate more than 5.5 billion pressure mapping data points. We use this scientific data to design and engineer chairs that deliver comfort and ergonomic support for as many people as possible.

Haworth seating is science-based design for your body—to support you, no matter who you are or where you work.

Ergonomics Is All about People

Ergonomics is a complex science, but it’s really all about people. When your body is physically supported in the right way at work, it provides benefits for your overall well-being—positively impacting everything from physical health and well-being to work performance, engagement, and job satisfaction.

Why Is an Ergonomic Chair Important?

We spend over half our waking hours working—often sitting down. Using an ergonomic office chair has been proven to decrease the risk of injuries in the neck, shoulders, arms, back, and legs. Good ergonomic seating also promotes focus and productivity by minimizing distractions and stress from being uncomfortable.
