Humanscale M2 Monitor Arm

Overview

Introducing the M2, an ingeniously simple monitor arm that combines serious performance, style and value. Through a clever new design innovation, the M2 offers a longer life, a more streamlined look, and a more eco-conscious choice than any traditional monitor arm.

Current-generation dynamically adjustable monitor arms utilize a gas cylinder to counterbalance the weight of the monitor. This adds heft and bulk to the monitor arm and makes it more prone to failure, as gas cylinders have a limited lifespan and eventually leak gas and lose pressure.

The new M2 utilizes an innovative mechanical spring in place of a gas cylinder. This new solution allows the M2 arms to be thinner, lighter, more maneuverable and far more durable than traditional arms, without sacrificing strength and weight-load capacity. What’s more, the streamlined, minimal-part design enables an unmatched price point for an arm with the M2’s features and quality.

M2 & the Environment

At Humanscale, we believe performance and sustainability are complementary outcomes of good design. The M2 is an outstanding example of this philosophy.

Through exceptional design, the M2 achieves a high level of function and sleek looks while requiring less raw material and fewer manufacturing processes in its creation. And by eliminating the most failure-prone component of current-generation dynamically adjustable arms—the gas spring—the M2 is assured the longest life possible. It is the last monitor arm you will ever need to buy—the ultimate sustainability achievement.
Additionally, the M2’s slim profile and light weight allow for less packaging materials and less fuel required for shipping.

Made from 52% recycled and 99% recyclable content, the M2 ships in 85% recycled packaging and can be integral to the achievement of a number of valuable LEED credits.
