What's In It For You Product StoryThe function and contours of Setu were shaped by the world around us. The designers of Studio 7.5 observed the ways technology has changed how we work, where we work, and how we move throughout the day. Designed in Response to ChangeWe’re working more collaboratively, in a variety of settings—but spending less time in each spot. We expect to be able to work anywhere and everywhere, and we need furniture that can do the same. Instant Comfort for Anyone, AnywhereWhile technology has changed much about the nature of work, it hasn’t changed how we all like to work: in comfort. Setu chairs are designed to deliver instant comfort from the moment you sit down. Kinematic SpineMaterial innovation gives Setu chairs their unique combination of flex and strength.
The Kinematic Spine uses two types of polypropylene to control resistance and support your weight as you recline. It bends and flexes with every movement, responding to the natural ways your body moves. Lyris 2 Suspension Seat and BackMore structural element than textile, the finely tuned Lyris 2 elastomeric material creates Setu’s one-piece seat and back. The breathable, pliable woven suspension adapts to your sitting bones, providing contouring comfort as well as aeration. Every Molecule CountsSetu is Studio 7.5’s solution for today’s more collaborative, less formal workspaces. From the graceful curve of its ribbon arms to the durable, uncoated H-Alloy base, every part of the Setu Chair was painstakingly shaped and reshaped to ensure that each molecule falls into the right place to deliver the desired functionality. Less and MoreThe result is a dematerialized design that uses less material—only 17 pounds for the multipurpose chair—to support people of all sizes, up to 300 pounds.
A range of upholstery and material options means you can customize Setu to serve as a focal point or to blend into any space where you work or live. A Full Family of Seating The versatility of the Kinematic Spine extends the Setu concept to a full family of seating to support a variety of postures: multipurpose chairs available with casters or glides, multipurpose stools, even a lounge chair and ottoman. With the Setu Lounge Chair, you can choose your ideal reclining position without making a single adjustment. The typical chair design story goes like this: Start with an idea for a chair and shape it into the world around you. But, in designing Setu, Studio 7.5 in Berlin let the world around us shape the contours and performance of the Setu chair. It’s inspiration through observation. Together with Studio 7.5, we combined our design expertise and manufacturing excellence and studied, learned, asked questions, and relearned. The way we work and live is different now.
And it takes different thinking to support it. That’s how we created Setu. Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair Click on image to zoom Designers: Charles and Ray EamesWith the Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair, the Eameses created a universal response to what everyone wants from a chair: a simple, gracious form that fits any body and every place. Thanks to a new, proprietary process of producing fiberglass-reinforced plastic, Herman Miller is once again able to produce the original 1950 Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair safely. The Molded Fiberglass Side Chair is available in a spectrum of archival colors as well as numerous upholstery and base options, making it an ideal dining chair option for both formal and informal spaces alike. Configure Your Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair Add to Wish List Thanks to a new, proprietary process of producing fiberglass-reinforced plastic, Herman Miller is once again able to produce the original 1950 Eames Molded Fiberglass Chair safely by means of a less volatile, monomer-free "dry bind" process.
Like the original shell chairs, our new fiberglass finish has the same covetable surface variation and telltale fiberglass striation that have attracted avid vintage collectors for decades.The process for making shells and the nature of fiberglass mean that each shell is unique and can possess traits such as tiny cavities in the surface, small points of lighter or darker color, or faint circular shadows where base attaches to shell. Fulfilling the goals of every modern designer. Like the countless fiberglass shells that have been beloved by avid Eames collectors and design enthusiasts for years, we expect our newly formulated Eames Molded Fiberglass Side Chair to endure for generations to come. However, in the off chance your Molded Fiberglass Side Chair is compromised, Herman Miller's Take Back program offers an environmentally sound means for recycling it. The Molded Fiberglass Side Chair is available in a spectrum of archival colors, numerous upholstery options, and can be configured with a choice of wire, dowel leg, stacking, and 4-leg bases.
An array of trim, finely tailored Hopsak fabrics designed by Alexander Girard, Herman Miller's Textile Director from 1952 to 1973, round out the collection of shell customization options, fully restoring the integrity of the original 1953 shell chair offerings. Reproduced as faithfully as possible to Girard's original weave and color selections, the textile boasts one enhancement: it now uses more sustainable constructions and materials such as antimony-free polyester. A "Preform" that Performs To create preforms for the new Eames Molded Fiberglass Arm and Side Chairs, a "dry binder process" is used. With this technique, fiberglass strands, some of which melt at a lower temperature, are blown by a robot onto a screen in the shape of the chair shell. Heat is then applied, and enough strands melt so that the preform's shape remains intact, avoiding the harmful "wet glue" process used in traditional fiberglass fabrication. By employing technology used mainly in the automotive and manufacturing industries, this new fiberglass resin boasts many environmental improvements.
