How to tune and use your chair for maximum comfort and support. Celle User Adjustment Guide Herman Miller's Celle task chair receives the People's Choice Award at the National Ergonomics Conference and Exposition (NECE). Best of NeoCon, Innovation Award for the Celle chair What's In It For You Product StoryExpectations are high for work chairs—and in places where different people use the same chair successively, around the clock, they’re even higher. The dependable, hardworking design of Celle stands up to heavy use, even in the most demanding environments—from call centers to nurses’ stations and from conference areas to laboratories. Human-Centered DesignBeyond working in a wide range of spaces, Celle also fits a wide range of people.
Designer Jerome Caruso’s vision for a highly engineered, intelligent surface that could provide supportive comfort for everyone resulted in Celle’s exclusive Cellular Suspension, a durable system of polymer cells and loops, engineered to support and respond to different areas of the body. Cellular Suspension BackNo two of the 751 polymer cells in the chair’s patented Cellular Suspension back are alike. The cells and interconnecting loops are engineered to form a “flex map” that conforms to your unique shape and stature, supporting your back while allowing air flow to keep you cool. Passive PostureFit sacral support is designed into the back to prevent slouching and maintain proper spinal alignment. Adaptable and AdjustableWith its roomy proportions and durable construction, Celle accommodates 90 percent of the global population and is rated for people up to 350 pounds (159 kg). A full range of adjustment controls allows you to personalize the fit. Balanced ReclineAs you lean back, Celle’s Harmonic tilt prevents your lower back from pulling away from the backrest, keeping you balanced and supported as you move naturally through the chair’s 28-degree recline range.
Inspired PaletteCelle offers versatility as well as dynamic support. An inspired palette of warm colors helps the highly technical design achieve a timeless look that doesn’t compete visually with other design elements in a space. Many Options, Many ApplicationsThe durability of the Cellular Suspension material makes Celle a great choice for even the most demanding work settings in business, healthcare, and learning environments. Celle also comes in a variety of upholstery options. Its most popular configuration blends the performance of a suspension back with the familiar aesthetic of an upholstered seat. A fully upholstered version is also available. Responsible DesignLike all our products, Celle fits into Herman Miller’s vision of responsible design. Celle was developed using our Design for the Environment protocol, which establishes strict standards for recyclability, safe content, easy disassembly, minimal packaging, and minimal waste. Celle work chairs and stools share the same dependable, hardworking design that makes them fit for a wide variety of people and spaces.
Both feature Cellular Suspension, a highly engineered system of polymer cells and loops that support and respond to different areas of the body. The Celle chair began in the imagination of designer Jerome Caruso. Caruso was the first designer at refrigerator manufacturer Sub-Zero, and has been their principal designer for more than two decades and is responsible for the company’s entire line of refrigeration units. But the Celle chair, he smiles, was the “Mt. Everest of fun. At the beginning, I imagined a highly engineered, ‘intelligent’ surface that could be the ultimate in seating comfort.” From an ergonomics standpoint, Celle follows the lead of our Aeron and Mirra work chairs, with five ergonomics issues integral to the design of all three:Size and fit. Anthropometric data from CAESAR (Civilian American and European Surface Anthropometry Resource) and other sources was used to ensure that the chair fits many different body shapes and sizes.The Celle backrest has our integrated, passive PostureFit contour.
Our proven Harmonic tilt mechanism was applied to Celle.Throughout Celle’s development process, we used our pressure-mapping capabilities to inform the design of the cellular size, flex regions, and contouring.Special temperature sensors, called thermocouples, were used to evaluate upholstery options and inform textile selection. The front of the seatpan is split in the centre and the left and right front parts can be tilted forwards independently of each other For users with restricted movement of one knee or hip, this enables them to accommodate the straighter leg but maintain a reasonable sitting posture.Share it Email this page Print this page Save this page as a PDF sort by alphabetical sort by most popular G20™ Spree Vion™ Novello Roma™ Loover™ Alero™ Arti™ Aspen™ Enterprise® Goal™ Graham™ Granada® Granada® Deluxe Graphic™ Indulge™ M9™ Malaga® Mallorca™ ObusForme® ObusForme® Comfort Scale 1, 2, 3™ Shadow® Supra X™ Synopsis® Takori™ Tara™ Triumph™ Truform™ Tye™ Weev™ Yorkdale® Echo™
You may have seen news stories where people trade their office chair for an exercise ball and wondered whether you could benefit from a similar trade. Reasons for the trade include better posture, less back pain and exercise on the job. Some people who opted for exercise balls found that there were significant drawbacks to sitting on an exercise ball all day. Fatigue The lack of stability, arm and back support can cause fatigue if you sit on the ball for extended periods, according to Dr. Henry Goitz, chief of sports medicine at the Medical College of Ohio. He believes that long hours of ball sitting can lead to injuries when you get too tired to maintain your balance or focus on your balance and posture. Fatigue can lead to poor posture, the antithesis of why many sit on the ball. A study published in the December 2009 edition of “Scoliosis” found that individuals sitting on an exercise ball demonstrated similar slumping and poor posture habits to those sitting in chairs. Discomfort Sitting on the ball for hours can become painful.
The balls are not ergonomically developed for extended sitting, which leads to discomfort. A study published in the May 2009 edition of “Applied Ergonomics” noted that women who typed sitting on a ball for more than one hour demonstrated spinal shrinkage and a reduction in arm flexion, leading the authors to conclude that the ball disadvantages outweigh any benefits. A May 2006 study reported in “Clinical Biomechanics” reported that extended ball sitting led to soft tissue compression and subsequent discomfort. A third study published in “Human Factors” also concluded that the balls caused discomfort with little or no redeeming advantage. Alternating sitting in a chair with sitting on the ball could reduce the discomfort during the day. Safety The ball can roll out from under you if you aren’t careful. Placing the ball on a stability base or ring can keep the ball in place, but may make it harder to position the ball because the ball and the base must shift together. If punctured, the ball can deflate, although most exercise balls are constructed of burst-resistant plastic so they deflate slowly to prevent injury.
Space Sitting on a ball at the office or home may require you to reserve space for both a chair and a ball to keep you comfortable and productive. This can create problems if you have a small space and may cause the ball or chair to impede your ability to move freely within the space. Ball Chair Inventive manufacturers offer ball chairs to combine the perceived benefits of a ball with the stability, mobility and comfort of a chair. Some of the ball chairs have arms and a back to improve comfort. The ball sits in a wheeled frame that offers stability, adjustability and maneuverability. If you want to sit on a ball for extended periods, the ball chair may offer the best option.
