Humanscale Manual // Complete Collection

In the golden age of American industrial design, Henry Dreyfuss Associates knew that there was more to design than just looking good. Products had to be good, crafted to work with the people who use them.

With this in mind, HDA designers Niels Diffrient and Alvin R. Tilley created Humanscale, including its ingenious data selectors, providing access to over 60,000 human factors data points in one easily referenced, user-friendly "portfolio of information." With these beautiful booklets and interactive data selectors, designers, engineers, architects, and inventors can reference data that serves as a starting point to design products for people.

Humanscale 1/2/3 Includes selectors that provide data for body measurements, link measurements, seating guide, seat/table guide.

Humanscale 4/5/6 includes selectors that provide data for human strength, safety, hand and foot controls, displays, head and vision, hands and feet.

Humanscale 7/8/9 Includes selectors that provide data for standing at work, seated at work, space planning, public space, body access, light and color.
