Herman Miller`s Embody Chair Launched

Text

Embody is the first chair with `pixels`, which separately react to body shape and adjust to every move.

Everyone who spends most of their time sitting down at work or at a computer, will be delighted by the new ergonomic chair which improves circulation and has already been named the latest style icon.

After six years of research, consultations with health and ergonomic experts and over a hundred prototypes, Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber offered a supreme ergonomic chair “Embody”, which is the worthy replacement of the Aeron chair, previous icon of ergonomic furniture.

Arrow-shaped recline-.--.-

Aeron, the work of unfortunately deceased Bill Stumpf, is the most successful and world-famous product of the Herman Miller company. As the Embody model was designed, we tried to keep a part of Aeron`s heritage, but also to step away from its wide back recline. I think that we entirely succeeded with the arrow-shaped recline, which is the feature of the Embody chair, said Jeff Weber at the chair launch.

The most significant advantage of this supreme ergonomic chair is the back recline, which consists of thee layers of plastic and plastic discs which distribute the burden better than traditional mesh materials or foam-based materials. The Embody is the first chair with `pixels` which separately react to body shape and adjust to every move. With its characteristic features and a flexible structure, looks like the human back.

The decision to present this latest model at the Orgatec in Germany is symbolic, seeing how the Aeron chair was first presented at that show, which is permanently exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in New York.
