Humanscale Diffrient Double ArmTask Light

Task lighting provides the correct amount of light for the task being performed. Viewing a computer monitor or walking down the aisle requires far less light than does reading a typewritten page, making it neither effective nor efficient to light the entire environment at the same level. When utilizing task lighting, the general lighting level in the facility can be lowered to a level appropriate for monitor viewing, thus creating a softer, more pleasant atmosphere while saving energy. Work surfaces are supplemented with task lighting to give workers total control over where and how much light they need for other tasks, such as reading a document.

With asymmetric reflector shades, featherlight positioning and compact fluorescent technology, the Diffrient Light is a shining example of ergonomic design and superior engineering.

DESIGNER NIELS DIFFRIENT Niels Diffrient's designs are grounded in the philosophy of form flowing from function. His work has spanned generations, consistently looking past trends to reinvent the tools we use for daily living.

With an academic foundation in aeronautical engineering and a degree from Cranbrook Academy, Diffrient channels his knowledge of the fine arts, engineering and architecture into a design practice of passion and integrity. His highly functional designs are aesthetically timeless.

In his early work with the studios of Eero Saarinen, Marco Zanuso, and Henry Dreyfus, to his current work with Humanscale, Diffrient's visionary talent has been widely recognized. Included in his many honors are the 2003 National Design Award from the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the 1999 Chrysler Design Award. Most recently he has focused primarily on design for the office environment, particularly seating, where he has won many industry awards.
