Whether it is a network company in Silicon Valley, or a futuristic science fiction movie, you can see Herman Miller, a furniture brand with a history of nearly 100 years, early on realized that furniture is not only the pursuit of appearance aesthetics, but also needs to integrate the needs of user changes and scientific functionality, it has cooperated with many excellent designer teams to become the most representative modern furniture design and manufacturer in the United States.
 
The human spine has a natural three-stage curvature, and it is difficult to maintain the normal curvature of the waist when sitting naturally, which will naturally cause various problems over time, so the role of the ergonomic chair is to help people maintain the natural curvature of the spine when sitting. Herman Miller and designer Stumpf collaborated to create the Ergon Chair, which brings ergonomics to the public eye, providing a model for the integration of ergonomics and products. At present, the three seats of Aeron, Embody and SAYL are active in the market as the brand's high-end classic, high-end flagship and fashionable mid-range series respectively.
 
Herman Miller's chairs are all about fine adjustment, and the Aeron and Embody in the high-end segment are different from other seats that use levers to adjust height, seat depth, and recline, but instead adjust them with a rotary knob for added convenience and refinement. In addition, the unique forward adjustment also takes care of people who need to work at the desk such as drafting.
 
Aeron is a classic chair of the brand and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. The Y-shaped support behind it can not only adjust the height, but also adjust the front and back in a small way, which can give good support to the sacral area at the bottom of the spine. The second-generation Aeron is basically on sale now, with a softer and more elastic fabric and strong wrapping, which improves the problem that the thighs will be squeezed by the front and numb when the generation is sedentary for a long time. The standard model is a nylon five-star foot, the price is about 11,000 yuan, and the price of the steel foot is more than 13,000 yuan.
 
Twenty years after the launch of Aeron, Embody completed the design. Compared to the Aeron, the Embody has a more futuristic look and a more mature design, with staggered tubular rubber connections directly on the back of the chair to provide dot matrix support, which automatically and evenly distributes weight when the person leans back, reducing pressure on the spine. In addition, choose a seat cushion composed of high-strength plastic, tinplate, staggered ring fasteners and mesh four layers to provide more support and flexibility, with a good haptic feel and excellent air cooling flow. Depending on the strength of the seat fabric, Embody prices range from 10,000 yuan to 13,000 yuan.
 
If you pay more attention to appearance, then SAYL must not be missed, the price is much friendlier than the previous two, the price is between 5000 yuan and 6000 yuan. Inspired by sails and bridges, the designer designed a metal lattice curved backrest with a hollowed-out seat, and a choice of 22 colours and fabrics. Compared to the Aeron and Embody, the SAYL has a reduced adjustment and is on the smaller side, making it suitable for slim people. All of these chairs are available for purchase through the brand's official flagship store.
 
It is important to note that because the designers believe that when the user sits correctly in the chair, the spine and neck will align and no headrest is required to provide additional support, so Herman Miller chairs do not have a headrest, so users who require cervical spine support or have a lunch break habit need to make a trade-off.
