Herman Miller Embody Office Chair Design Your Own

The result of decades of painstaking design research

What if a chair could do more than just minimise the negative effects of sitting? That was the radical idea that Jeff Weber and the late Bill Stumpf had in their design studio.

Could they design a chair that actually had positive effects on the body? “You can’t design without empathy,” said Weber, who also designed our Caper chair. “Since design has become more technology based, we’ve had to sit in our chairs in front of computers for longer periods, just like everyone else. We identify with the problems people have as a result of sitting.”
