I remember when I first learned the word “ergonomic”. It was grade 8 core class and we were taught a new word each class. I actually recall leaning back in my chair and testing the level of comfort …it wasn’t that comfortable, but I thought it sure beats standing up! This Herman Miller “Embody” chair. Some of you might have heard of the revolutionizing “Aeron” chair they made way back. (Author Malcolm Gladwell referenced it in his book Blink) I can only imagine would kick the sh*t out of my classroom chair! Or any other office chair I’ve had the privilege or resting my ischial tuberosities on. This bad boy will set you back about $1,600 but I'm sure you're back will be good for it.
Fourteen years after they unseated every other office perch with the iconic Aeron, the designers at Herman Miller have once again upped the ante on stylish chairgonomics. The new Embody not only looks great — we love the spinal-styled back — it's heaven on our ischial tuberosities (you know, ass bones). An array of knobs and levers let you tailor the chair to your body like a bespoke suit, and an improved tilt mechanism combats neck, hip, and lumbar strain. The ergoheads at HM even tapped studies on tissue perfusion to boost its backside benefits: The three-layer pixelated seat flexes and absorbs your tiniest movements, distributing your weight more evenly. In other words, as you work, you're actually decompressing. Sounds good to us.
