Mirra 2, Sayl or Setu? Choosing a Herman Miller chair

Not every desk needs a flagship chair. The Mirra 2, Sayl and Setu each bring Herman Miller comfort to a different kind of space, from a full-time workstation to a shared meeting room. Here is which one fits where.

  • A full-time desk chair

Which one, in which room

The desk you work at every day: Mirra 2

If one person sits at the desk all day, the Mirra 2 gives you the most control. Its Butterfly back flexes with you, the lumbar support can be set to your lower back, and the pivoting arms follow you between the keyboard and the mouse.

The home office: Sayl

The Sayl gives you real ergonomics without looking like office equipment. Its frameless suspension back, inspired by suspension bridges, supports you while letting you move. Forward tilt helps when you lean in to type; the tilt limiter lets you recline when you read.

The meeting room or shared desk: Setu

When different people use the same chair, adjustments get in the way. The Setu adapts on its own: you set the height and its flexible suspension seat and back do the rest. Light and easy to move, it suits meeting tables and hot desks.

Need maximum support for long days? Look at the Aeron and the Embody, Herman Miller’s two flagship work chairs.
