If you’ve ever bought office furniture, you’ve undoubtedly been drooling over Herman Miller’s chic chairs, and then disappointed by their Dyson-like price. Still a staple of well-funded startups, the furniture maker now assumes that players who have already spent thousands on a specification-outside the pc they are happy to spend so much on a chair, desktop and monitor arm too.
Today, the previously announced partnership between Logitech and Herman Miller came to fruition when the company revealed a new collection of game-focused furniture, with a new trick:out of the chair leading the charge – except the chair is not really that new. the Herman Miller X Logitech G Embody Gaming Chair it is almost identical to Herman Miller Embody office chairs, but with an additional layer of cooling foam “to better support your posture while playing” (and to minimize how much you sweat during a round of Fortnite). The most notable differences are added Logitech G brand and a new colorway.
It doesn’t appear that Herman Miller has done as much to personalize the chair for players, despite frequently asked questions on the site that explain that Logitech G “helped report product updates and collaborated with Herman Miller engineers on product improvements. “Hmm, that’s fine. Priced at $ 1,495 ($ 100 cheaper than the original Embody), the chair is a expensive upgrade but looks considerably better than most gaming chairs, which often it looks like they were taken straight out of a race car. You stopped sleeping in a race car bed a decade ago (hopefully), So maybe it’s time for you to stop playing in a race car seat too?
Joining the Embody gaming chair is the Herman Miller Motia gaming desk, a $ 1,295 motorized desk that can hold up to 200 pounds of gaming equipment. Features a matte finish that makes fingerprints and grease stains less obvious, but in addition to a glossy button for raising and lowering the desktop, it is difficult to see why wouldn’t you choose Ikea Bekant motorized desk and save more than $ 800 in the process.

Rounding out the collaboration collection is the Herman Miller Ollin Monitor Arm which, at $ 295, is also priced at least $ 200 more than competitive products that also offer cable management and the ability to support a monitor weighing up to 20 pounds. There is no doubt that these accessories are fine.designed wellBuilt and comfortable, but if you’re looking to maximize the enjoyment you get from gaming, you’d probably better stick with the competitions’ products and use all the money you save to continue updating your PC, your screen and the quality of your snacks.
