Company: Studiomates Location: Brooklyn, NY Triple-Duty Space: It’s a place for mobile types to drop in and work, a spot for an all-hands-on-deck gathering, or a dining table for carry out. Movable furnishings make it multi-use. 1
Company: Fairly Painless Advertising Location: Holland, MI Heads Down, Talk Up: People need a place to focus on their work, yet they crave the buzz of being around others, too. Low-wall work areas in U-shapes balance concentration with conversation. 2

Desk Lounge Multipurpose Side Stool Bench
Studies show people spend more time sitting than sleeping. If investing in a great bed makes sense, going for a great office chair is even smarter. We’ve done our research on what it takes to support your body and designed some of the most comfortable chairs on earth. Millions of people spend most of their day with us. One reason is an invention we call PostureFit ®. It supports the very base of your spine. And when you have that kind of support, you’re literally guaranteed to sit well.

YOU SIT MORE THAN YOU SLEEP.
Desk Chair
Aeron
®
It’s the first ergonomic desk chair to replace upholstery with breathable, form-fitting suspension that adapts to virtually every body and keeps you cool and focused. How It Works For You Chairs
Patented, breathable Pellicle® suspension material lets heat and moisture dissipate while giving your body dynamic support. PostureFit® sacral support positions your lower back in a health-positive position, decreasing muscle fatigue and improving endurance during long periods of sitting. The chair’s tilt design mimics the body’s natural pivot points at the hips, knees, and ankles, supporting you naturally from an upright to fully reclined position. Designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick Warranty 12 years Ships In 10 days
A Design of the Decade for Winners Made to Order in 340 Seconds Every Aeron chair is made to order, exactly the way you choose it. And it’s made fast, thanks to lean techniques learned from Toyota. We’ve cut every ounce of waste out of the production process so we can make a chair from start to finish in 340 seconds, and one comes off the line every 17 seconds. In the time it took you to read this, another Aeron was born.

Herman Miller Small and Medium Business 2012-13 Catalog
Driven people play as hard as they work, which is why the Aeron chair has become so popular. When people aren’t closing the next deal or glued to a display—and getting the support their bodies need—they can grab their sticks, wad up a paper puck, and blow off some steam. Sure it’s been chosen Design of the Decade and appeared in the offices of countless startups, but Aeron makes its biggest impression when you sit in it—or scamper around the office “rink.” 13
Embody
®
Desk Chair
Mirra
®
The first desk chair designed specifically to create harmony between your body and your technology. Embody keeps you alert, keeps you aligned, and keeps your blood and creative juices flowing.
Mirra naturally fits active workers in today’s flexible work environments. It accomodates a wide range of people and applications with a highly responsive design.
How It Works For You
You get support and flexibility from the one-piece back, which is elastic so it fits individual sizes, sitting positions, and movements.
Seat and back design is a dynamic surface that stimulates blood and oxygen flow by reducing seated pressure; all that oxygen helps you think better.
How It Works For You
PostureFit sacral support feature keeps your lower back properly aligned.
The chair back adjusts instinctively to every move you make and keeps support of your lower back constant.
AireWeave™ suspension seat distributes your body weight evenly and keeps you cool.
Embody keeps you in a neutral, balanced posture as you work, so you stay relaxed and focused.

Desk Chair
SAYL
®
When you settle into the frameless back of a SAYL chair, you experience unprecedented freedom of movement and beautiful support. How It Works For You Chairs
Suspension back has the support you need molded into the back material, eliminating hard edges and the need for a frame. Flexible elastomer material adapts to each person’s unique shape and provides exceptional comfort and support for just about all body types. Mix colors on the seat, back, and armpads for a bold look, or match them for a more traditional appearance. Designer Yves Béhar Warranty 12 years Ships In 10 or 20 days
Inspired by Suspension Designer Yves Béhar began his research into a new desk chair by looking at examples of design that deliver the most with the least. He wondered: Can the same principles that suspend a bridge over water be applied to a chair? The answer was yes, the result is SAYL. Its suspended, frameless back encourages healthy movement and precise support. 16

Equa 2
®
We believe everyone—regardless of size, shape, or status—deserves a good, ergonomically supportive chair. That belief takes shape in the Equa 2 desk chair. How It Works For You

The design caters to people who prefer the comfort of an upholstered chair and options that include extensive materials choices.
PostureFit sacral support positions your lower back in a health-positive position, decreasing muscle fatigue and improving endurance during long periods of sitting.
One-piece shell design with H-shaped cut-out allows the seat and back to act independently, flexing in response to your movements.
Tilt design mimics your natural seated movements from upright to fully reclined.
Shell design also supports your back in a healthy position, keeping you focused and alert throughout your day.

POSTUREFIT: BACKED BY SCIENCE
EACH YEAR BACK PAIN COSTS COMPANIES AN ESTIMATED
Relatively Minor Adjustments to the entire work space can be significant in reducing physical stress and injury.
$7,400,000,000 8 of 10
Enter PostureFit. It’s an invention that—unlike a lumbar support—puts the support right at the base of the spine so your pelvis stays in its natural position. This invention is so good for you we’ve put PostureFit in almost every one of our desk chairs.
WORKERS EXPERIENCE BACK PAIN AT SOME POINT.
Chairs
When you stand, your pelvis naturally tilts forward a bit. Sit and the pelvis straightens, putting pressure on the discs in your spine and robbing them of the fluids they need to stay healthy.
48%
OF SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESS OWNERS STATE THAT THE RISING COSTS OF EMPLOYEE BENEFITS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE FACING THEM TODAY.
RMIs Down, Ergonomic Sales Rise In the U.S. alone, 2 billion dollars in direct costs result from repetitive motion injuries (RMIs). But RMIs are down about 35 percent over the last 10 years. At the same time, sales of ergonomic products are up an average of 17 percent in the same period. Direct correlation? Perhaps. Positive impact? Absolutely, yes.
44¢ Per Day On average, proper ergonomic support—work chair, keyboard/mouse tray, monitor arm, task light—costs $775 per person per year. Amortize that over 7 years with 252 work days each, and the cost per day is 44 cents. Measured against daily wages, this is a small investment in the people who are more vital to your organization.

Designers Charles and Ray Eames Warranty 5 years Ships In 20 days
Contoured Classic In the 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames molded plywood in two directions, shaping it to the body so a hard material became comfortable. They started with a plaster mold that had heating elements against which a membrane (inflated by a bicycle pump) pushed thin sheets of glued veneer. As with all great entrepreneurs, they kept at it. Eventually, their design and our engineering made a classic. 28

You can push a bunch of them together for a work session. Or use one for working, then an hour later use it as a dining table, and another hour later for a conference table. Given the agility of tables, it’s not surprising we named ours Everywhere. They have fine lines, meaning they look good in all kinds of places. They have no boundaries, meaning you can mix top shapes, base styles, go with flip top or fixed, casters or glides. Very agile.

WHAT’S YOUR WORK STYLE? In our study of work and workers, we’ve noticed there are three major worker styles. Each worker style—mobile, resident, or flex (a mix of mobile and resident)—has its own considerations, which affect your workplace and the tools you need.
FLEX This individual works at an assigned space between 3 to 5 hrs/day for 4 to 5 days/week. Work Surface: Seated height adjustable Chair Recommendation: This worker style needs a chair that fits them like a glove, while still offering a high degree of flexibility and freedom of movement in the back design; Mirra, Celle and SAYL Work Tools: Laptop/tablet support, keyboard support, personal task light, CPU holder, multiple monitor supports Storage: Personal storage Power & Data: Desk height accessibility
RESIDENT A resident is typically at his or her desk more than 6 hrs/day for 4 to 5 days/week. Work Surface: Seated height adjustable or sit to stand capable Chair Recommendation: This worker style both needs, and deserves, our best performing work chairs; Embody, Aeron, Mirra and Celle Work Tools
Work Tools: Laptop/tablet support or CPU holder, keyboard support, personal task light, multiple monitor supports, tool rail Storage: Personal storage Power & Data: Desk height accessibility
MOBILE A mobile worker is typically on the go and works in one location less than 2 hrs/day or is there less than 1 to 3 days/week. Work Surface: Fixed height Chair Recommendation: Where many people share a chair, simplicity is the rule: Mirra, Celle, SAYL and Setu Work Tools: Laptop/tablet support, keyboard support, personal task light Storage: Common area storage Power & Data: Desk height accessibility

Company
Our curiosity, ingenuity, and design excellence have resulted in award-winning products and services. It’s a journey we’ve been on for over 100 years. Along the way, we’ve been just as innovative in our business practices. And, we get recognized for what we do: FORTUNE named us “Most Admired” in our industry and a “100 Best Companies to Work For” in America.
Company
All innovators have a passion to achieve. FastCompany recently named us an innovation all-star. One reason is the SAYL chair. It’s designed by Yves Béhar, a top talent from Switzerland who now works from San Francisco. SAYL has won awards, got lots of press, and sells well. What’s our secret? A passion for solving problems in original ways. Originality is always the goal. Innovation is often a result. You get the benefit of both. 76

Quality means you stand up under the weight.
We are friendly to the earth and to people.
The Herman Miller Test Lab is a tough place. Weights (up to 300 pounds), pulleys, and pistons test every design to the brink of failure—and beyond. This ensures they meet the requirements of our standard 12-year warranty. And that can alleviate the top factor small and medium business owners say is key in choosing a vendor: the reliability of its products and services.
Finding and keeping the right talent can be a challenge. The challenge gets bigger when you ignore this fact: Young and young-at-heart creative people care about the environment and want to work for a company that does, too. Our founder said in 1953 that, “we will be a good steward of the environment.” We still live by that creed, in our policies, our buildings, and our products. 79
