Designed by Jerome Caruso, it features an innovative "Cellular Suspension" system that flexes and conforms to your body shape and movements.

Key Features:
Cellular Suspension Back & Seat: The backrest is comprised of hundreds of polymer cells and loops that flex independently. This distributes your weight evenly, alleviates pressure points, and provides a continuous, supportive feel without traditional padding.

Ventilated Design: Because it uses an open-cell polymer rather than thick foam, it offers superior airflow, keeping you cool during long hours at the desk.

Harmonic Tilt: Allows for a smooth, natural recline. As you lean back, the chair keeps your body balanced and prevents your lower back from pulling away from the backrest.

Passive PostureFit: Built-in sacral support encourages your pelvis to tilt slightly forward, which maintains the natural curvature of your spine and prevents back fatigue.

Highly Inclusive Fit: The thoughtful geometry accommodates a wide variety of body shapes and sizes (fitting up to 95% of the North American population).

Adjustability: To fine-tune your seating experience, the Celle offers a highly customizable suite of ergonomic controls:

Seat Height: Pneumatic adjustments to fit different desk heights.

Seat Depth: The seat pan is fixed and can accommodate different leg lengths.

Tilt Limiter & Tension: Controls the range of your recline and the resistance you feel when leaning back.

Armrests: Are fixed in height positioned to alleviate neck and shoulder tension.

Lumbar: Ergonomically built in lumbar support to support your lower spine.

Durability: The Celle is incredibly sturdy and easy to clean, making it highly popular for demanding, shared, or heavy-use environments like 24/7 call centers, laboratories, and nurse's stations.

Herman Miller produced the Celle chair primarily at its "GreenHouse" manufacturing facility in Holland, Michigan for the North American and global markets. The Greenhouse was a testing ground and model for a green building rating system for the LEED program. The project used an old damaged industrial site, blending the new building into the landscape and screening much of it from view. The curved form, receding layered elevations, and glass reduce the visible mass. Windows are operable and there are solar control devices and high-efficiency artificial lights. The frame is locally recycled steel, and the skin is local brick. Other materials were selected according to their effect on a sustainable environment.

The building is located on high ground to allow water cleansed and filtered with layering and plantings to drain naturally toward the Macatawa River. Surrounding habitat was restored, with parts reforested or reseeded with native grasses and wildflowers. Nearly a mile of continuous wetland habitat was also created. This is used to purify the building's storm water runoff. Native plantings eliminate the need for fertilization, irrigation, herbicides, and lawn mowing. Oriented to the southwest, the building stands between a freeway and a residential development. A system of trails allows workers to walk or bike to work. In 1997 Miller SQA received the first annual Business Week/Architectural Record Good Design Is Good Business Award, sponsored by the American Institute of Architects. (courtesy SAH) See less
