Herman Miller Setu Review: The Easy Ergonomic Chair

Filed under: Gadgets, Lux Tips


What are you doing right now? Are you sitting down? What do you think about the chair you are in? Is it stylish, supportive? Have you ever really thought about it before? I didn't until a couple of years ago when I realized I was doing myself a disservice by sitting in the chair equivalent of a backache. "Ergonomic stuff is for the weak and elderly," being the type of perception I used to have. I eventually realized that sitting in a "nice" chair helped comfort and productivity a lot, but it wasn't easy finding the right seat. Most "ergonomic" items these days are gimmicks, and finding something specially designed for your comfort and health is hard. Well here is one item you don't have to stress-out about.

Here is my personal review of the new Herman Miller Setu task and desk chair. The brand well know for the universally popular Aeron desk chair has a few other products you should know about. One of them is right for you. In short, in the Herman Miller line of chairs, the Setu is made for simplicity and ease of use. No complex or frustrating levers and micro adjustments. The chair is designed to naturally fit to you, without having to adjust it. An added bonus is that multiple people can enjoy the same seat (no, not at the same time), without having to disturb your unique ergonomic settings.

Herman Miller's Embody Chair

Filed under: Decor

Herman Miller has just unveiled its latest style-meets-ergonomics piece: the Embody Chair. Designed by the late Bill Stumpf and completed by Jeff Weber, this piece claims to improve lower body circulation, mind-body connection and office productivity.

The company decided Embody would make its first appearance at Germany's Orgatek show, which is where the company's iconic Aeron chair debuted in 1992 -- it landed in the Museum of Modern Art soon after.

The Embody chair retails for $1,595.
