What Herman Miller highlights

  • Thick cushions

    The generously sized seat and back have thick, plush cushions. The chair comes in fabric or several leathers.

  • Tilt-swivel mechanism

    The chair tilts and swivels, and the seat height adjusts. Herman Miller lists these as its adjustments.

  • Five-star base

    A tubular steel column sits on a five-star base with casters. The base comes in polished aluminum or black.

As described by Herman Miller on its official pages; not a Chairpedia assessment.
