Path Task Chair

Todd Bracher's Gravity Mechanism runs on body weight alone: no recline lever, no lumbar dial.

More than half of the Path's material composition and weight is recycled content — 22 pounds per chair, including 10 pounds of reclaimed ocean fishing net and 3.25 pounds from coastal yogurt cups. The FormSense Eco Knit back is a zero-waste 3D knit that takes the shape of the spine pressing into it. It sits with the rest of the range in our Humanscale collection.

Common Questions

What do I actually adjust on the Path?
Seat height, seat depth, and arm height. Recline and lumbar support are automatic — the Gravity Mechanism uses your body weight for resistance and the knit back shapes itself to your spine.

What is FormSense Eco Knit made from?
It is a 3D-knitted, zero-waste textile made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, roughly 68 plastic bottles per chair, knitted to shape so there are no offcuts.

How much recycled content is in the chair?
Humanscale states recycled content makes up more than half the Path's material composition and weight: 22 pounds per chair, including 10 pounds of reclaimed ocean fishing net and 3.25 pounds from recycled coastal yogurt cups.
