Designers: Bill Stumpf & Jeff Weber, 2008
Designed specifically for people who sit at computers, Embody makes you
feel like your floating. It promotes health-positive sitting, creating
harmony between you and your computer to help you focus on your work
and think more clearly.
SUPPORT THROUGH HARMONY
For superior comfort, Embody’s Backfit™ adjustment
and seat conform to your unique shape and distribute your weight evenly.
Embody has no hard, rigid frames so edges flex and forgive when you
make contact.
Embody's new tilt technology—designed especially to support the
working recline posture—encourages you to move naturally,
keeping your head aligned with your computer display, and your spine in a
neutral posture with consistent support. Whether you lean forward or
recline, your lower back support remains constant--no adjustments
needed; users of all sizes can easily assume and maintain a reclined
position. One chair size fits every body. Embody automatically adapts to
the wide variation in people's size, shape, posture, and spinal curve;
seat depth adjusts to different thigh lengths; armrest motions fit the
broadest ranges.
THE FEELING OF FLOATING
Embody’s Pixelated Support™ technology is in both
the seat and chair back. It automatically conforms to your body’s
micro-movements, distributing your weight evenly. This improves blood
flow, lowers resting heart rate, and eliminates discomfort and distractions.
The feeling is as if you’re floating in your chair.
ZONED SUPPORT
The Embody tilt provides three zones of support that introduce a new model
of kinematics that stabilizes the pelvis and supports the upper back
without pressure on the thighs. This technology supports the spine through
a wide range of work postures.
A PURPOSEFUL SKIN
The exoskeletal form of Embody was inspired by the human spine. Herman
Miller collaborated with materials designer Susan Lyons to create new
textiles specifically for Embody. Embody uses spacer and knit constructions,
the kind used in sneakers and geo-textiles. They cushion the sitter, are
breathable, translucent, and resilient. Every bit of material used is
purposeful. Nothing is wasted or superfluous.
EMBODY CONSTRUCTION
This chair has a pixelated seat and back that is textile-covered on the
chair’s front side. This construction provides support and comfort by
spontaneously conforming to the user’s shape and postural
movements, while simultaneously moving heat away from the body. The
Instinctive Back design mimics the human spine, providing passive
support to the sacral, lumbar, and thoracic regions of the user’s back,
while the frameless, narrow back shape allows freedom of movement
through the arms, neck and shoulders. The seat depth adjusts from 15"
to 18". The tilt supports the thoracic spine and stabilizes the pelvis
through the deep, balanced recline. The tilt limiter allows the user to
limit the amount of recline. The chair has a 5-star base.
Arm choices include no arms or fully adjustable arms that adjust 6"
vertically and 6" horizontally.
FRAME, BASE AND FABRIC OPTIONS
Textiles add warmth. More like a skin than a covering; textiles are meant
to enhance, not cover up; they have "loft" for a cushy feel; light and air
pass through; colors pair with two frame colors and three base colors to
simplify choice and appeal to universal tastes.
