ASARI Chair SPECIFICATION

The Asari Chair is an office chair developed in collaboration between Herman Miller and designer Naoto Fukasawa. The form of the Asari Chair is inspired by organic forms found in nature. It is an office chair designed with advanced ergonomic performance and soft form for both home and office use.

The Asari Chair is Herman Miller's latest problem-solving product through modern design. As professionals increasingly work remotely or in hybrid working environments, whether in dedicated offices or multipurpose living spaces, they are looking for chairs that combine sophisticated beauty with ergonomic functionality. At the same time, organizations that have returned to the office are looking to improve the "livability" of their work environments to make the office a more comfortable place, like home.

"Evolving ways of working mean changing needs for workspaces at home and in the office," says Ben Watson, president, Herman Miller. "Crafted with visionary designer Naoto Fukasawa in new leathers and fabrics, Asari delivers intuitive adjustability, sleek design and ergonomic performance to meet the needs of today's worker."

Seat height adjustment : Operation location: Lever on the lower right of the seat. Sit on the seat and slowly raise your hips while pulling up the lever to raise the seat height. Pulling up the lever while sitting on the seat will lower the seat height.

Arm height adjustment <br>Operation points: Button on the side of the arm pad. Sit on the seat and press the button on the side of the arm pad to unlock it and allow it to be moved up or down. Release the button at the appropriate position to fix the arm in place.

Combining the functionality of a work chair with the comfort of a lounge chair, Herman Miller's Asari chair awakens the senses. The patented PostureFit technology aligns the spine to its natural curve, providing a comfortable seating experience with a beautiful design.

The Asari Chair is designed with an organic shape, with a rounded frame covered in upholstery. The backrest is equipped with patented ergonomic technology (PostureFit) that supports the lower back and aligns the spine to its natural curve.

The Asari chair combines beautiful form with functionality and comfort for the office and home. Its simple form yet ergonomic support makes it available in a wide range of Maharam leather and textile colors.

"Beauty of appearance is also a function. So instead of just thinking about the form, we first think about the function. And it has to be beautiful." — Designer: Naoto Fukasawa

Designer Naoto Fukasawa: "My goal was to create new forms, evoke joy, and ultimately design the next iconic upholstered chair," says Fukasawa. "My core design philosophy is to simplify life, imbue each and every object I create with a sense of familiarity and charm, and to make it timeless and useful for years to come."

Herman Miller

Design is about solving fundamental human problems
Founded in 1923 (its predecessor, Star Furniture Company, was founded in 1905), Herman Miller bet its survival on contemporary furniture during the Great Depression of the 1930s. This gamble was a great success, and in 1945, Herman Miller stopped producing traditional furniture and focused on contemporary furniture, which would later be called modern furniture. In 1960, the company began to explore the true needs of office workers and the needs of companies and organizations. They realized that office productivity was a major issue in business. The "Action Office" that was developed in this way became the norm for subsequent office systems. Herman Miller believes that innovation is not a goal but the result of research. Innovation comes from research into customer needs, exploration of materials and processes, and design that responds to social and economic innovations. Of course, designers add inspiration on top of that. Charles and Ray Eames' plywood chairs, Robert Propst's Action Office, Bill Stumph's Ergon and Aeron chairs, and Ayse Birsel's Resolve system are all products of such interactions. What connected them to Herman Miller was the shared belief that "design exists to solve fundamental human problems." Rather than designing for the sake of design, it was their passion to create new designs from research into the human body and the environment that surrounds us.
The quality control department repeats the industry standard 100,000 seat tests 1 million times. The unparalleled research and development department develops from the material, and the manufacturing department realizes the most advanced manufacturing process. In all of these, Herman Miller never forgets its idea of creating new designs by researching the human body and the environment. Herman Miller's products are the inevitable form that was born from researching the problems related to the act of sitting. In order to save the earth's resources and reduce the environmental burden, Herman Miller's products strive to improve the durability and reliability of its products, and the product warranty period for work chairs is 12 years. Another aspect of innovation, "taking risks," is equally important. Herman Miller strives to always maintain a willingness to take risks. As the company expands and the responsibility for capital increases, the pressure to minimize risk has also increased. However, Herman Miller continues to take risks to bring out new products that it is confident will be successful - and sometimes products with revolutionary qualities that will change the times.
