Herman Miller Chair "Embodies" Ergonomics

Tuesday October 21, 2008
Herman Miller has followed up the Aeron office chair with the Embody, a new ergonomic chair that looks to take over the cubicle. Embody is a chair that supports your body while you are moving around. And, much like the Aeron, it lets you adapt your working posture throughout the day.

Herman Miller sums it up well, "Embody lets your body move and keeps you well supported, because your mind works best when you move freely and stress is minimized on your muscles, bones, and tissues. Blood circulates better, heart rate goes down, more oxygen flows to the brain, and there is no distracting discomfort or physical constraint. That's critical in our idea economy where innovation drives success and people get paid for their thoughts and creativity."
