Choosing a World chair for your workspace
Start with where the chairs will be used. For assigned desks, consider who will sit in each chair and which listed features matter for their regular workday. For meeting rooms or shared areas, consider whether the same configuration should be used throughout the space or whether different seat fabrics and features would better suit different zones. The collection includes task and meeting chair types, so check the specific product listing when selecting for a particular setting.
Both named models have mesh backs and fixed Duron armrests. Their seat upholstery differs: WL1 is described with a textile seat, while W1 has a Remix fabric seat. The W1 listing also specifies adjustable seat height; WL1 is described with lumbar support. Collection information includes both yes and no values for lumbar support and armrests, so do not assume every feature applies to every configuration. Confirm the details on the individual model page before ordering.
Check fit, materials and finish
Use the available dimensions PDF to compare the chair’s measurements with desk height, clearances and the needs of its users. The collection data includes seat-depth and seat-height measurements, but check the product-specific figures rather than treating one measurement as universal across both models. If you are outfitting multiple workstations, checking the dimensions together can help maintain a consistent fit across the space.
Upholstery is listed as fabric and mesh, with a range of seat colors across the collection, including neutrals and brighter options. Base colors listed include black, grey and white. These choices may depend on the selected model or configuration, so confirm availability for the chair you are considering. Fixed armrests are described on both named models; consider their placement in relation to desk edges and shared-table layouts.
What to review before specifying
Match features to users
Make a short list of requirements—such as adjustable seat height, lumbar support, armrests and preferred upholstery—then compare that list with each product’s details. If several people will share a chair, pay particular attention to adjustment requirements and verify the available dimensions. The collection provides catalogue and dimensions PDFs for further review.
Confirm documentation and next steps
Collection information lists ANSI/BIFMA LEVEL 3, a Declare Label, and HPD availability, along with environmental information including LEED contribution and SCS Indoor Advantage listings. Check the relevant product documentation for details that apply to your specification. Myntwork offers Humanscale World chairs on a monthly lease; confirm the chosen model, finish and requirements with the product information as you plan your order.

The WL1 World LM Task Chair is described with a textile seat and lumbar support. The W1 World Task With Armrests has a Remix fabric seat and lists adjustable seat height. Both have a mesh back and fixed Duron armrests. Check each product listing for its complete feature details.
Do all World chairs have lumbar support?
The WL1 description specifies lumbar support, while collection attributes include both supported and unsupported values. Confirm lumbar support on the individual model listing rather than assuming it is included across the family.

No. The WL1 is described with a textile seat, and the W1 with a Remix fabric seat. Both models have mesh backs. Check the selected product page for available upholstery and color choices.
How can I check whether a World chair will fit my workspace?
Review the dimensions PDF and the measurements on the specific product listing. Compare them with desk height, table clearance and user requirements, since collection measurements may vary between configurations.
Can I choose a base color for a World chair?
Black, grey and white are listed as base colors across the collection. Availability can depend on the selected model or configuration, so verify the options for the chair you plan to lease.
