Herman Miller Embody – Black Sync upgrade

The performance of your Embody

From the moment you sit down, you feel Embody's Pixelated Support™ - the feeling as if you are floating, while being perfectly balanced. Thanks to a dynamic matrix of pixels, Embody's seat and backrest surface automatically conform to your body's micro-movements, evenly distributing your weight as you sit. This reduces pressure and stimulates movement, both important elements for healthy circulation and good concentration.

Embody's backrest is designed like your back, with a central spine and flexible ribs. The BackFit™ adjustment allows you to adjust the backrest to the natural curvature of your spine, so you achieve a neutral, balanced posture. After the chair is adjusted to you, the backrest adapts to your movement and automatically adjusts to your changing positions. Whether you hang forward or lean back, the support remains constant.

Your Embody is so intelligent that sitting helps you think

Embody began by recognizing an unsolved problem: the lack of physical harmony between people and the technology they use. When we spend too much time behind our laptops or staring at our tablets, moving nothing but our fingers, we become stiff and tired, because our bodies were made to move.

The science of sitting comfortably

More than 30 doctors and Ph.D. students in the fields of biomechanics, vision, physical therapy and ergonomics contributed their expertise to help guide the development of this chair. Prototypes followed, on which experts sat and judged what was good and what was not.

The result is that Embody sets a new standard for pressure distribution, natural stabilization, and support for healthy movement in ergonomic chairs.

Embody design: Form follows function

The function is fully visible. Every part of the chair is designed for a very specific beneficial purpose. Embody's technology is not hidden; it is part of the look. After years of research, design, construction, and testing - and then again (and again) - the art of design and the science of sitting came together perfectly to create the Embody.

Embrace and be supported by superior ergonomic technology

In Embody's seat, a combination of support layers works together to reduce seat pressure. These layers are designed to allow airflow that keeps you cool and comfortable while sitting.

The BackFit adjustment allows the back of the chair to adjust to the unique curves of your spine, perfectly positioning your head in relation to an ergonomically adjusted monitor. Embody's movement technology keeps your backrest at the correct angle to the seat, allowing your body to move naturally and adopt the healthiest sitting postures while keeping your pelvis stable.
