Modern Multipurpose Seating with Intuitive, Adjustment-Free Recline

The Humanscale Trea Chair is a modern multipurpose seating solution engineered for intuitive comfort, clean lines, and exceptional adaptability across today’s evolving workspaces. Designed by award-winning industrial designer Todd Bracher, Trea features a unique solid-state recline mechanism that automatically responds to your posture—no levers, knobs, or adjustments required.

With its sculpted performance shell, refined profile, and interchangeable base options, Trea brings visual cohesion and ergonomic simplicity to conference rooms, cafés, private offices, collaboration hubs, training environments, and modern home offices. It’s seating designed to look beautiful, perform effortlessly, and adapt to nearly any application.

  • Solid-State Recline: Integrated mechanism offers approximately 12° of recline that automatically supports the sitter—no manual controls required.
  • Supportive Shell Design: Contoured backrest gently follows the body’s pivot points to cradle the spine and encourage healthy movement.
  • Waterfall-Edge Seat: Reduces pressure at the back of the knees, improving comfort over longer sitting periods.
  • Interchangeable Bases: Four-leg, cantilever, four-star task, and stool bases allow Trea to adapt to guest seating, task applications, and café or counter-height settings.
  • Compact, Clean Profile: Minimal form and refined detailing work equally well in commercial interiors and residential-style offices.
  • Contract-Grade Durability: Built to support up to 300 lbs with a 15-year warranty for 24/7 use.
  • Climate Positive & Net Positive Certified: Trea is designed to meet rigorous sustainability standards while delivering long-term performance.

The chair’s solid-state recline keeps users supported through natural shifts in posture, while its sculpted shell and optional seat pad deliver comfort that feels tailored without requiring adjustment.

As a unified seating family, Trea allows designers and organizations to maintain a consistent aesthetic from private offices to cafés, training rooms, lounges, and collaborative areas. Its durability, versatility, and award-winning design make it a trusted choice for commercial, hospitality, educational, and hybrid work environments.
