Humanscale chairs are master classes in ergonomic office furniture with no compromises in design. The company collaborated with the late American industrial designer Niels Diffrient to create a range of stylish office chairs that are lightweight and adapt to the contours of your body.
If you are tall/petite/have other requirements for a chair, don't worry. We also like some models that fit into living rooms if you want something more streamlined and don't have the standard wheelbases of office chairs.
If you're looking for an office chair with impeccable design, look no further than Herman Miller. The carefully selected selection of office chairs here rivals the best lounge chairs and armchairs. Tastefully upholstered models from HAY and Geiger are ideal for Scandinavian-style home offices, while more traditional ergonomic chairs from Herman Miller's own brand will take care of your posture while maintaining a stylish look. We liked the range on offer, although there wasn't much to choose from. Most chairs cost over $500, but it's worth spending more.
If you want an office chair that's comfortable and attractive without being expensive, but still looks and feels luxurious, the Branch is worth considering. The company offers a small but well-designed collection of office chairs that offer many of the same features as more expensive chairs, but at a fraction of the price. The Daily Chair (pictured above) has to be our favorite: it's well designed, available in a variety of stylish colors and comes with a five-year warranty.
If you have more specific requirements than your average office chair, we recommend Fully. The company specializes in office furniture, and it shows. Yes, Fully makes work and office chairs, but the brand also offers kneeling chairs, standing stools for those who prefer to stand while working, and (our favorite) the bar-shaped Tic Toc chair. The stool can be rotated. 360 degrees.
Less is more with IKEA's curated range of chairs designed for home offices. What we really love about the IKEA home office idea is that the company doesn't just make cheaper versions of its designer chairs, but it also creates completely unique models that can make a statement in your home office. We especially love the soft, mid-century modern look of the Alefjall chair.
Just like IKEA, if you have a small home office, this is worth checking out. The company knows a thing or two about making small spaces beautiful.
If you want to try out as many different chairs as possible before committing to a purchase, visit a Staples store. The company remains one of the best places to test office chairs of all types and price points before purchasing. If you prefer to shop online, there's an easy-to-navigate office chairs section that lets you filter chairs by type, price, or additional features like armrest type or specific brand. The companies' prices also match, so you don't have to worry about shopping at a premium.
If you're looking for a traditional home office vibe with a chic, modern twist, West Elm is your best choice. All chairs are beautifully designed with special attention to detail, making this home office chair a statement chair. The leather selection is particularly good and has a rich brown tint. With their sleek design, all West Elm chairs can be used as part of a hybrid home office/living room workspace.
Magnolia office chairs have an unexpected elegance. Leather upholstery and warm wood tones are the perfect combination of modern aesthetics and all-day comfort. I love the Calvin desk and chair, but there are more options for every home office.
