The brand reflects on the chair, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The silhouette is designed to elevate the human condition overall, making it a notable chair in the space of workplace design. CEO of Humanscale, Bob King noted to [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-chair1), "Restyling something is quick, inexpensive and predictable, but doing real innovation and coming up with something that that that works better is really slow, really expensive and really unpredictable. People recognise this as a chair that is designed to improve the human condition. They may not understand that all of this design came from function but on a subconscious level, I think people understand that this design is honest."
