About Herman Miller
In 1923, the Michigan Star Furniture Company underwent a transformation, emerging as Herman Miller under the ownership of D.J. De Pree and his father-in-law. Renamed in honour of the esteemed businessman Herman Miller, the company quickly gained renown for its modern furniture. This shift was propelled further by the pivotal hiring of George Nelson, whose influence redirected the company’s trajectory. Nelson, alongside notable contemporaries like Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, and Isamu Noguchi, crafted iconic pieces that defined modern design.
Over the decades, Herman Miller has sustained its reputation for innovation, collaborating with esteemed designers such as Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi, Robert Propst, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, Ayse Birsel, Studio 7.5, Yves Béhar, Doug Ball, and others. Today, the company stands as a leader in contemporary interior furnishings, renowned for its work chairs, healthcare solutions, and cutting-edge technologies.
In 2021, Herman Miller joined the Miller Knoll collective, forming a powerful platform of design brands shaping our world. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023, Herman Miller continues to set the standard for ergonomic office furniture. Explore our diverse range of chairs and desks, including renowned models like the Aeron, Mirra 2, Embody, Sayl, Setu, Lino, and Verus. Committed to ongoing innovation, Herman Miller remains dedicated to refining existing designs and introducing new ones to meet evolving needs.

Herman Miller FAQs
Are Herman Miller chairs worth the investment?
Yes. While Herman Miller chairs carry a premium price tag, they are widely considered a long-term investment in your health, comfort, and productivity. The cost is justified by decades of rigorous ergonomic research, exceptional build quality, and highly adjustable features designed to support your natural posture. Furthermore, because new models come with a comprehensive 12-year guarantee, the cost-per-year of use is often significantly lower than repeatedly replacing cheaper, lower-quality office chairs.
Which Herman Miller office chair is best for my needs?
The right chair depends entirely on your working style, body type, and aesthetic preferences.
-
Aeron: Best for breathability and iconic, highly responsive ergonomic support. It comes in three sizes (A, B, and C) to guarantee a tailored fit.
-
Embody: Ideal for users who sit for highly extended periods. Its pixelated support system dynamically distributes pressure and promotes healthy blood flow.
-
Mirra 2: Perfect for agile workers who frequently lean and transition between tasks, offering a flexible and responsive “active” backrest.
-
Sayl & Verus: Excellent options that deliver Herman Miller’s signature ergonomic benefits and striking design at a more accessible price point.
How long is the warranty on a Herman Miller chair?
When you purchase a new Herman Miller office chair from an authorised retailer like Office Chairs UK, it comes with an industry-leading 12-year guarantee. This comprehensive warranty covers parts and labour—including the tilt mechanisms, gas lifts, castors, and the mesh or fabric suspension. This ensures total peace of mind and guarantees that your chair is built to last well over a decade.
Are Herman Miller chairs good for lower back pain?
Absolutely. Herman Miller is globally renowned for its orthopaedic and ergonomic engineering. Chairs like the Aeron feature advanced lumbar support systems (such as the PostureFit SL) which stabilise the base of the spine (the sacrum) and support the natural inward curve of the lumbar region. By promoting a healthy, active sitting posture and reducing spinal compression, these chairs can significantly alleviate lower back pain associated with prolonged sitting.
How do I choose the correct size for the Herman Miller Aeron?
Unlike most one-size-fits-all office chairs, the Herman Miller Aeron is meticulously engineered in three distinct sizes: A (Small), B (Medium), and C (Large). Size B accommodates the vast majority of adult users, but your ideal size will ultimately depend on your height and weight combination. To ensure you get the maximum ergonomic benefit, we highly recommend checking the specific Aeron Buying Guide & Size Chart available on our product pages before purchasing.
Are Herman Miller chairs sustainable and environmentally friendly?
Yes, environmental stewardship is a core part of Herman Miller’s culture. The brand strictly follows the Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol, ensuring every stage of a product’s life cycle is eco-conscious—from material sourcing to manufacturing and end-of-life disposal. A prime example is the Aeron Remastered chair, which is now manufactured using ocean-bound plastics to directly reduce pollution in our waterways. Additionally, the vast majority of Herman Miller chairs are constructed from highly recycled materials and are up to 90% recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
