His Ergon chair was a vision of the future incarnate, as it was the first ergonomic chair used for the office setting. Bill Stumpf studied orthopedic medicine in college, but took a keen interest in ergonomics, namely within the action of sitting. He opened his own firm in 1972 and it took off after his creation of the Ergo Chair in 1974. Stumpf continued creating a line of Aeron chairs, which were equally popular as the first Ergo chair.

Simpson double murder trial is the trial of the century for product placement. One of the biggest beneficiaries is BodyBilt Seating, whose chairs are being used by members of both prosecution and defense teams. The following memo from BodyBilt describes how they came to provide the front-row seats: Thursday, March 2Robert Shapiro, experiencing back pain, visits a Beverly Hills BodyBilt dealer. Store owner Dairl Johnson assesses Shapiro’s condition and recommends a high-tech ergonomic chair—the K Series executive chair. (“The K Series brings active ergonomic support to the management level…”)
Friday March 3Shapiro, after gaining permission from Judge Lance Ito to bring his special chair into the courtroom, arranges for Johnson to deliver the chair a few minutes before Rosa Lopez takes the stand for her final day of videotaped testimony. As Johnson demonstrates the chair’s 10 ergonomic controls, Marcia Clark and Chris Darden walk over. They tell Johnson they, too, are experiencing back pain, and ask if there’s anything he can do. He listens to their symptoms and says he will get back to them. O.J. Simpson watches this demonstration with interest. Johnson turns to Robert Kardashian and asks, “What about him?” Kardashian tells Johnson that Simpson is suffering from back problems and that he, too, would like a chair. A bailiff says Simpson can have a chair only if it doesn’t have wheels. Johnson agrees to prepare such a chair. Monday, March 6After studying Shapiro’s sitting habits from Court TV footage, Johnson is back in the courtroom consulting with him on the chair’s various ergonomic adjustments.
One by one, Chris Darden, Marcia Clark, Sherry Lewis, Johnnie Cochran, and the court stenographer approach Johnson, who is kneeling by Shapiro’s chair. Each discusses his specific needs. Johnson makes individual assessments and offers to provide the special loaner chairs to the rest of the lawyers, as well as to Judge Ito, who has also commented on his back pain. Friday, March 10On the first day Mark Fuhrman is scheduled to testify, the chairs are delivered to the courtroom. When Johnson sets up Simpson’s chair, a bailiff objects, saying the defendant cannot receive special treatment. So Simpson’s chair is removed and placed at the prosecution table, where it is used by either Clark or Darden. Lee Bailey, who was not present when the chairs were ordered, hangs his jacket on the one for Cochran, and then sits in it. Cochran, in turns, claims the chair that had been ordered for Judge Ito. A short time later, Judge Ito calls Johnson to his chambers to discuss the dispersal of the chairs.
He tells Judge Ito he has no more BodyBilt loaner chairs, and will bring him a loaner from another manufacturer. BoldyBilt estimates publicity generated by the trial will generate sales of an additional 6,000 chairs, ranging in price from $790 to $2,634. There are currently 10 BodyBilt chairs in the courtroom—one for Clark, Darden, Shapiro, Cochran, Bailey, Lewis, Carl Douglas, the court reporter, the court stenographer, and Judge Ito’s assistant. Johnson was unable to offer his services to the jurors, but he did provide a professional assessment of their seating. The jurors, he says, are sitting in “uniquely uncomfortable chairs.”No other business of its kind did more than the Herman Miller Furniture Company to introduce modern design into American homes. Working with legendary designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson and Alexander Girard, the Zeeland, Michigan-based firm fostered some of the boldest expressions of what we now call Mid-Century Modern style. In doing so, Herman Miller produced some of the most beautiful, iconic and, one can even say, noblest furniture of the past seven decades.
Founded in 1923, Herman Miller was originally known for grand historicist bedroom suites: heavily ornamented wood furniture that appealed to a high-minded, wealthier clientele. The company—named for its chief financial backer—began to suffer in the early 1930s as the Great Depression hit, and D. J. De Pree, the company’s CEO, feared bankruptcy. In 1932, aid came in the form of Gilbert Rohde, a self-taught furniture designer who had traveled widely in Europe, absorbing details of the Art Deco movement and other modernist influences. After persuading De Pree that the growing middle-class required smaller, lighter household furnishings, Rohde set a new course for Herman Miller, creating sleek chairs, tables and cabinetry that were the essence of the Streamline Moderne style. Rohde died suddenly in 1944. The following year, De Pree turned to George Nelson, an architect who had written widely about modern furniture design. Under Nelson’s leadership, Herman Miller would embrace new technologies and materials and audacious biomorphic forms.
