How do you sit?
That’s a question you’re unlikely to ask; it’s one we never
stop asking. We’ve been studying how people sit for more
than 60 years. We turn that research-based knowledge
into the best work chairs in the world.

Advancing the Art and Science of Seating
The search for the next advance, while incorporating
innovations that have come before, has marked the
Herman Miller problem-solving, person-centered
approach to chair design for over 60 years.

Eames Molded Plywood Chair
Charles and Ray Eames, 1946
Charles and Ray Eames began experimenting with molding plywood in 1941 as part of their
search for new ways to create three-dimensional forms. By inventing a new method for
molding plywood, they found a creative use for a common material that allowed them to
shape a chair to the contours of the body. It also set a precedent for always putting the person
at the center of the design process.

Ergon 3 Work Chair
Bill Stumpf, 1976, updated 1988, 1995
In 1965, designer Bill Stumpf began researching how people sit at work. Increasing use of
office equipment by the growing number of white collar workers fostered a tendency to sit
longer, which caused back and neck pain. In designing Ergon, Stumpf applied the principles
of ergonomics. This made Ergon the first chair to fit both person and task and allow postural
change. It also introduced the science of ergonomics to the contract furniture industry.

Equa 2 Work Chair
Bill Stumpf & Don Chadwick, 1984
The Equa chair design began its evolution in 1979. Early prototypes showed that by using an
H-shaped cut-out the seat and back could act independently, flexing separately to respond
automatically to a person’s movements and postures. Inherent in Equa’s design was a new
idea: Everyone—regardless of rank or status—deserves a good chair. This approach broke with
the tradition of designing chairs for a particular function.

Aeron Work Chair
Bill Stumpf & Don Chadwick, 1994
The Aeron chair was the first departure from foam and fabric in office chair design.
Its patented, breathable Pellicle suspension material lets heat and moisture dissipate,
hence the chair’s name, Aeron, adapted from the verb “aerate,” to supply with air.
Another advance—the Kinemat® tilt mechanism—added comfort by supporting the
body’s natural linkages at the hips, knees, and ankles and in all positions.

Mirra Work Chair
Studio 7.5, 2003
Mirra was the first chair to provide zoned support in its back design. It was also the first
commercial furniture product developed from the outset according to Cradle-to-CradleSM
principles. While a consideration of sustainability had been present in earlier Herman
Miller chair designs, the work on Mirra established a new standard and set a precedent for
subsequent designs.

Celle Work Chair
Jerome Caruso, 2005
Each cell in a Celle chair acts like the egg-crate foot bed of some shoes, but with an important
difference: Cells are suspended by a system of loops to achieve remarkable pliability. As
Herman Miller chairs have done in the past, Celle reimagines a rigid material, in this case
polypropylene, in an innovative way.

Embody Work Chair
Jeff Weber & Bill Stumpf, 2008
Herman Miller and its university partners conducted laboratory experiments on kinematics,
preferred postures, pressure distribution, seated tasks, and metabolics. This work guided
Weber and Stumpf in the development of Embody and confirmed its health-positive benefits:
It allows blood and oxygen to flow more freely in the lower extremities, so the heart works
easier and beats fewer times per minute. That, in turn, helps people stay focused and alert.

Setu Multipurpose Chair
Studio 7.5, 2009
In 1965, designer Bill Stumpf began researching how people sit at work. Studio 7.5 advanced
the science of dematerialization with a thorough examination of every component of a chair.
This is most evident in Setu’s Kinematic Spine™. A combination of flex and strength, the spine
eliminates the need for a tilt mechanism by mimicking the synchronized movement needed
to fully support the body in any reclined or upright position. By incorporating work-chair
attributes into a multipurpose chair, Setu redefined expectations for the category.

SAYL Work Chair
Yves Béhar, 2010
Yves Béhar pushes the boundaries of technology and design to make both more attainable.
Inspired by the principles of the suspension bridge, in which each component is refined to its
essential function, Béhar created SAYL with a Y-Tower that supports an unframed back made
of 3D Intelligent suspension material. Each element of the chair is in its essential form, which
reduces material requirements and weight that, in turn, lessens costs.

Studying how people sit, Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick
noted that heat and moisture buildup from sitting for long
periods are major factors in causing discomfort. Their
design for the Aeron chair solves the problem with a
patented, breathable suspension material that lets heat and
moisture dissipate. At the same time, the material gives your
body dynamic support as you move.

Overview
Embody began when Jeff Weber and Bill Stumpf saw an
unsolved problem: the lack of physical harmony between
us and our technology. They came up with a radical idea:
design an agile, health-positive chair that benefits both
body and mind. The result is Embody. Its design features
have been shown in clinical tests to lower heart rates and
stimulate blood and oxygen flow. That, in turn, helps people
stay focused and alert.

Embody’s back is a central spine
that joins rib-like H-flexors and
Pixelated SupportTM to create a dynamic
surface that mimics the natural
movement of your back. As you twist

Embody’s narrow upper back allows
arms and shoulders to move freely,
letting you breathe deeper.
The BackfitTM adjustment lets the

frameless back of the SAYL work chair encourages a full
range of movement while the suspension back material
keeps you cool.

SAYL’s Y-TowerTM supports a
full-suspension back that is literally
frameless, providing healthy support
and encouraging movement.
Varying degrees of support are
molded directly into the 3D IntelligentTM
suspension back material. Tension is
greater in transition areas between
thorax, lumbar, and sacrum. “Hinge
points” allow these areas to flex and
support the healthy, forward rotation

Mirra
Overview
Mirra evolved from the vision of the designers at Studio 7.5
for a chair that reacts to what people do. Essential to their
concept was a chair that acts like a second skin, a shadow
of the sitter. From this idea, Mirra’s passive adjustability
was born. Just sit on it, and it fits. A few, highly intuitive
adjustments let you fine-tune the fit even more.

Overview
The idea of equality is reflected in more than Equa’s name. It
is seen most clearly in its one-piece shell with an H-shaped
cut-out that allows the seat and back to act independently,
flexing in response to the body’s movements. Three
identically proportioned chair sizes make performance
equally available to the broad range of sizes and shapes
that characterize a diverse working population.
