It’s a new Herman Miller chair!
Enough said?
Well almost.
On top of being beautiful and functional and wonderful for your body, this new Herman Miller chair is GREEN. Yes, that’s a term thrown around all over the place these days. It’s become a trend; a cult, if you will. As far as cults go, though, this is a good cult to follow. As far as I’m concerned, if it’s helping preserve our earth and our lives and the futures lives to come, it can’t be wrong. That said, here it is:
The Embody Chair

Well everything, eventually, needs to be discarded. As you said though, this chair will hopefully have to not anytime soon. It does cost a pretty penny.

Green and stylish! Love this chair. And it’s nice seeing all the views for it (thanks for including that image series for its different angles).
