Work Well. Be Well.
The truth is, our bodies weren’t designed to be in one position for 8-10 hours a day. It’s time to reclaim movement and wellness in our home office. Explore the benefits of Herman Miller’s state-of-the-art performance seating, dynamic sit-to-stand desks, and ergonomic accessories.
Performance Seating
Since launching Ergon—the world’s first research-based ergonomic chair—in 1976, we’ve been at the forefront of understanding and mitigating the adverse effects of long-term sitting. Our continued innovations in seating have helped us develop the three unique qualities that you can find in all of our performance seating.
Total Spinal Support
Our patented PostureFit technology is designed to help maintain the ideal sitting posture—hips tilted slightly forward for a natural S-shape curve in the spine—so your muscles don’t need to strain to hold a healthful posture.
Dynamic Support
Every body is different. That’s why our innovative surface materials—woven suspension, molded foam, and hybrid materials like fabric integrated with polymer veins—alleviate pressure buildup by conforming to whoever takes a seat. Plus, they’re breathable to keep you cool and comfortable through long days at work.
Balanced Movement
Find a smooth and balanced recline with our proprietary tilt mechanism. Designed to deliver the right amount of resistance through to a wide range of movement—from upright to reclined—our chairs ensure you’re supported in every posture, but never fighting your chair.
Sit-to-Stand Desks
Why did Herman Miller design a sit-to-stand desk, instead of a simple standing desk? Turns out the cure to sitting all day isn’t standing all day—in fact, it can lead to leg swelling, lower back pain, and fatigue. The answer to lasting wellness is a combination of postures, from sitting to standing and back again. Experts recommend standing 5 to 20 minutes each hour.
Since 1968, when Robert Propst first introduced a stand-up desk, we’ve been offering standing surfaces. Now our collection solves timeless ergonomic issues with high-tech solutions—an electric lever that adjusts the desk height with the touch of a button, quiet but powerful lift to accommodate large monitors, and even cord management for a tidier surface.
