Herman Miller Setu Review: The Easy Ergonomic Chair

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

by Tracy Chait (RSS feed) —

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.

Leaf Lamp, Design Hotness For Your Desk

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Few desk lamps come with as big of a buzz as the leaf lamp designed by Yves Behar for Herman Miller. It was even written up by Businessweek earlier this year. The leaf lamp is an LED crowd pleaser which lets the user customize intensity and color in order to set a mood or a location. The vertical blade of the leaf light swivels and the range of motion allows the user to have an intense lighting or a more ambient experience. The leaf remains cool and the LEDs use less than 12 watts of power and use 40% less energy than a compact flourescent light. The light is available in red, white, black, nickel or polished aluminum and start at $499.

Herman Miller Coconut Chair

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The Coconut Chair consists of a soft, leather-upholstered, foam rubber cushion supported by a molded plastic shell. The shell sits atop chrome-plated stainless steel legs. Its shell-like shape cradles the body, allowing you to rest comfortably, though it does not restrict movement in any way. It would go perfectly in a modern, but masculine, study or office where it would give visitors a chance to relax or casual meetings to take place. Price: $3,495.
