The firm maintains its collaboration with Logitech G, producing gamer-centric seats that use Herman Miller’s design superiority.

Herman Miller Gaming has unveiled two new colourways for its Embody Gaming Chair, “Ignite” and “Nova,” enhancing its gamer-centric seating collection with novel finishes influenced by sportswear and fashion, respectively.

The more subdued of the two palettes, “Ignite,” combines mineral grey upholstery with vivid orange accents, which the brand characterises as a “vibrant colour combination” intended to keep gamers “inspired during each gameplay.” The new colourway is more vibrant and striking than any other in the Herman Miller Gaming collection. The brand has deliberately positioned it on the back of the chair, the armrests, and the seat height adjustments, harmonising it with a neutral grey and accents of black that complement and subtly contrast one another. This specific shade of orange is evocative of Nike’s classic “Infrared” orange, as it closely resembles Herman Miller’s new “Ignite” orange, a colourway featured in the original Air Max 90 and other Jordan models, including the Air Jordan 6. The "Nova" edition features deeper hues of navy, purple, and black, targeting players seeking a more subdued configuration. The deep purple tone of the new model contrasts with the lighter "Amethyst" shade of the previous Embody Gaming Chair, which is more akin to lavender and was combined with white.

The new variants, crafted to enhance players' opportunities for personal expression, adhere to the same ergonomic framework as the original Embody Gaming Chair, a design created in collaboration with Logitech G and launched in 2020. Both new variants incorporate the chair's distinctive pixelated support system, copper-infused cooling foam, and adaptable backrest, designed to uphold posture, equilibrium, and comfort throughout prolonged gaming sessions.

Each maintains the ergonomic advancements that characterise the Embody Gaming Chair, including weight-distributing support and dynamic adjustments engineered for movement without discomfort. The design perpetuates Herman Miller's research-driven methodology for performance seating, adapting its workplace ergonomics legacy to gaming settings.

The new “Ignite” and “Nova” colourways for the Embody Gaming Chair are now available for purchase in the UK (£1,715 GBP), Hong Kong ($17,558.00 HKD), and China.
