Environmental Innovations:

Before environmental sustainability became fashionable, Freedom was already leading the way toward a greener planet. Its user-centred design allowed the removal of a significant number of parts, such as the tension recline mechanism found on all other task chairs.

Its predominant use of 100% recycled and recyclable aluminum minimizes the use of virgin materials. And its innovative, modular design extends the useful life of the chair by making cushion upgrades or in-field repairs a snap.
