No one wants to have to work to sit back in their chair, or to maintain a seated reclined position. Herman Miller’s proprietary tilt technology is designed to mimic the natural movement and pivot points of your body, keeping you balanced, regardless of your size and stature, as you move from upright to reclined seated positions. Dynamic Support The best work chairs fit you – they don’t ask you to fit them. From the Pixelated Support in the Embody seat and backrest to the Pellicle suspension in Aeron, Herman Miller work seating features dynamic surfaces to conform to your unique shape and seated movements, eliminating pressure points and allowing blood and oxygen to flow, keeping you focused and alert. Zoned support is built into the suspension backs of many of our work chairs, providing more support along your spine, where you need it most, and less along the edges of the back, where you need to be able to flex and turn. This creates the perfect flex map to support your unique back shape and sitting style.
