To keep with the recent theme of designs by Yves Behar, I'd like to speak about his new chair for Herman Miller. From the very iconic Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman to the more recent Aeron Chair, Herman Miller has been a staple in high end office furniture design for decades.
Aligning with this tradition, Yves Behar has brought us a very affordable, forward thinking, and eco friendly chair with the Herman Miller name badge.
The chair sports a frameless back with a flexible and airy web of material making it up. This back is inspired by suspension bridges and features flexibility and tension in key areas for optimal support. This forward thinking ideology also makes for less material and reduced shipping cost.
The $399 price tag makes me want to throw away the busted chair I have at work and pick one up. Check out the website for more details.
