Specifically designed for people who spend stretches of time sitting in front of a computer, the Embody Chair (2008) promotes correct posture while allowing the freedom to move. The expertise of more than 20 physicians and PhDs in the fields of biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics guided its development. The result is a backrest and seat that automatically conform to your body’s micromovements, providing consistent ergonomic support in both forward and reclined positions.

Embody’s Pixelated Support system distributes your weight evenly, creating a sense that you are floating. The support reduces pressure and encourages movement, both of which are key to maintaining focus and healthy circulation. Mimicking the human body, the chair’s narrow back has a central spine and flexible ribs. A Backfit adjustment controls them, allowing you to position the backrest in line with your spine’s natural curve so that you have a neutral, balanced posture. Embody’s seat features four different support layers. Together, they mold to your shape while allowing for airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable as you sit. A pneumatic seat lift and repositionable chair arms help you further tailor Embody to your specifications.

Embody is made of 42 percent recycled materials and is 95 percent recyclable at the end of its useful life. It also is PVC-free and manufactured at a 100 percent-green-energy facility. This is the authentic Embody Chair by Herman Miller.
