Setu Chairs Will Set You Straight

Fancy office chairs are a dime a dozen, so what’s the big deal about Setu? The spinal chord-inspired design says it all: Just sit down, and the chair takes care of the rest. Without any adjustments, the Setu Chair flexes and bends to the back’s natural contours. Shapes include the standard desk chair, a higher stool-like seat and a chair-plus-ottoman color, and there are a variety of colors to choose from. As a bonus, the chair is 93 percent recyclable. Commercial users get first dibs, with chairs available now and prices from $650 a piece. The rest of us must wait for retail distribution in September. [Herman Miller and Press Release]
