Undecided after looking across your product line

I'm looking for a chair for my home office. I've been looking through your website at the Celle, Sayl and Embody chairs. I've also used both the Aeron and the Mirra in the past. The chair will be used no more than a few hours per day (since I spend most of the day at my company offices). How do I decide among the above? What criteria should I consider? Do you have a questionnaire I can answer that will recommend the best chair for my situation? I'm 42 years old, measure 5'9.5" in height and weight 192 pounds. I suffer from lower back pain (mostly when I stand too long) and have suffered from upper back pain in the past due to bad sitting posture. I remember having bad posture all the way back to grade school. I also often sit over one foot. I spend most of my day working in the computer. Would be grateful for your help.
We would love to assist in finding the perfect chair for you. All of our office chairs listed below are designed to be supportive for a wide range of body types and long periods of sitting. Highlighted below are unique features of each chair to determine which chair has the features that will benefit you most. Choosing the available additional back support options for Aeron, Mirra and Celle is recommended if you are looking for additional lower back support. Aeron is available with additional lumbar support or Posturefit options, Mirra and Celle are available with additional lumbar support. If you need any further assistance, please contact us at 888.798.0202.

Embody- "Healthy Body, Healthy Mind"
This chair provides serious support and is clinically proven to encourage blood and oxygen flow. The chair has posture fit sacral support, lumbar support, and BackFit adjustment positions that support the natural curvature of the spine which allows proper seating alignment. The narrow upper back design allows arms and shoulders to move freely, letting you breathe more deeply. The pixelated support contours to the user's shape and distributes weight evenly which improves circulation, resulting in a lower heart rate.

Celle- "Hardworking Design, Personal Fit"
The Celle chair is a dependable and versatile chair. This chair contours with minimal adjustments and is simple while providing durable design. This chair features cellular suspension, where each cell of suspension is unique, creating which creates a flex map of your back providing personalized, targeted support. This allows for heat and moisture to dissipate while allowing airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable. The chair can be customized to add additional back support with the optional lumbar support.

SAYL- "Smart Choice, Attainable Design"
The SAYL's 3D intelligent suspension back conforms to the unique shape and size of the user with a healthy balance of support and flexibility. The smaller size is ascetically pleasing and looks great in homes. This chair has posture fit sacral support, but does not have the option for additional lumbar support if you are looking for a more supportive chair. Instead, the varying degrees of support are molded directly into the strands of the back, more where you need it and less where you don't.

Mirra- "Natural Support, Supported Movement"
This chair provides support and flexibility where the recline features work in concert with your natural pivot points in ankles, knees, and hips. The Mirra features a TriFlex Back, a one-piece, frameless, pliable backrest providing the perfect balance of support along the spine and flexibility at the perimeter of the backrest. Each zone provides the appropriate level of support and freedom of movement. The air-weave suspension seat conforms to the users unique shape and size, supporting weight evenly and eliminating pressure points. The seat allows airflow to keep you cool and comfortable.

Aeron- "personalized fit, personal comfort"
The Aeron adapts to every body, keeping you support, comfortable and focused. With your body height and weight, the size recommendation for you would be C. Aeron has Active PostureFit sacral support and the option of adding additional lumbar support. The Aeron is the only chair that has Active PostureFit, which allows you to personalize the level of support to the base of your spine. The pellicle suspension feature of the Aeron conforms to your unique shape and size, distributing weight evenly, and eliminating seated pressure points. The waterfall front edge removes pressure from your thighs to encourage blood circulation. The Kinematic Tilt allows neck, shoulders, knees and ankles to pivot naturally, supporting balance seating and motion.

Designers: Charles and Ray Eames. It’s been called “working art� since first exhibited by Charles and Ray Eames in 1949 at the Detroit Institute of Arts. This highly functional and stylish desk provides a spacious work surface, file drawer, and a dash of retro styling.
 

How thick is the table top?

How thick is the first layer, and how thick are the two layers (the wood and the black layer) together? Also, how far in before the black layer starts? I'm trying to determine if my table clamps will work.
The birch plywood desktop layer is 10/14 inches (.714"). The black support beam is 1.25" thick. The black support is set 1" back from the back of the desk, and its thickness is 1.25". If you are looking to clamp over both the top and the black support, the total thickness would be 1.964". Attached below is a more detailed photo of the desk's thickness.

 Aeron Chair
Aeron Chair
Designers: Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick. Its the most well-known ergonomic office chair ever made. With good reason. As the first to replace fabric and foam with a breathable, woven suspension membrane—its innovative Pellicle seat and back—Aeron distributes your weight evenly, eliminating pressure points and heat buildup. The Kinemat tilt lets you recline fluidly, and PostureFit puts support where you need it most while seated—at the base of your spine.
 

Will it lock in a reclined position?

For medical reasons, I need to be sited in a reclined position with a headrest. Does the chair lock in a reclined position?? Also, is there a headrest option?
Yes, the Aeron Chair has the functionality to lock at a reclined angle. Depending the options of the chair, the seat will recline from -4 degrees to 15 degrees. The back of the chair will recline from 86 degrees (4 degrees forward of perpendicular to the floor) back to 116 degrees. This gives the back a potential 30 degree range of movement. Unfortunately at this time, Herman Miller does do not offer a headrest option with the Aeron Chair.

Designer: George Nelson. Solid wood cabinets to be used alone, in conjunction with or atop the Nelson Platform Bench, or with other cabinets in the series to create stylish storage options for your home.
 

Can the platform bench mount support the weight of the cabinet, i.e. be used as freestanding, or do we need to use it with the bench?

The Nelson Basic Cabinet Series 24x24 is designed for both the Nelson Platform Bench and as a freestanding cabinet. Depending on the use, different bases are used to support the cabinet. The mounting brackets are ideal for use with the Nelson Platform bench while the wooden leg mounting option should be used when the cabinet is freestanding.

Designer: George Nelson. Retro yet contemporary, the Nelson swag leg desk has the look, scale, and function that are just right for today.
 

I live in Europe and the german editor Vitra also offers this desk, but the price is much higher (about $ 5000) Can you explain me the reason?

Vitra is a licensed manufacturer and distributor, which means they purchased the rights to manufacture and sell select Eames and Nelson products in Europe. Since they are an independent manufacturer and not working directly with Herman Miller, they have their own pricing model which can differ from Herman Miller prices offered through our authorized retailers and online store.

 Mirra Chair
Mirra Chair
Designers: Studio 7.5. A happy union of seemingly incompatible concepts: More support and less material. High performance and attractive price. Fewer adjustments and better fit. Does more and requires less.
 

Is the "alpine" color white or silver?

The Alpine back color for the Mirra Chair is neither silver or white, but a very light grey. An online color swatch of Alpine can be found here: https://www.hermanmiller.com/CMF/CDA/DetailView.jsp?color_id=1505. Attached below is another picture of the Mirra Chair in Alpine that appears more light grey than silver.

The Alpine seat color for the Mirra is a slightly darker shade of grey due to the pattern of the fabric. A detailed picture and description of the Mirra seat fabric can be found here: https://www.hermanmiller.com/CMF/CDA/DetailView.jsp?color_id=317.

We would be happy to send you fabric and material swatches to help with your decision. Please contact Herman Miller Customer Care at 888.798.0202 if you need further assistance.

What is the difference in the upholstery materials?

One choice is a $200 option. Is there a functional advantage of one over the other or is the difference purely esthetic?
Both fabrics are great options for the Embody Chair. Balance is a higher-grade textile, so it is a thicker fabric than Rhythm and has more cushiness. In addition to differences in thickness, there are functional differences between Rhythm and Balance fabric. Balance fabric is designed with air pockets built into the textile to increase airflow.

We would be more than happy to send you fabric swatches of both Rhythm and Balance so you can compare them. Please contact our Customer Engagement Team at 888.798.0202 for further assistance.
