Herman Miller & Logitech G Team Up to Create High-Performance Furniture Solutions for Gamers
You better fill up that wallet of yours as it ain't gonna be cheap. Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and Herman Miller, today announced an exclusive partnership to research, design, and manufacture the next generation high-performance furniture solutions for gamers.
Both companies bring years of design and engineering expertise in their respective fields, and combined will address the needs of esports athletes, gamers, and streamers.
"At Herman Miller, we have a rich history of designing solutions to support people wherever they live and work," said Tim Straker, Herman Miller's Chief Marketing Officer. "We're excited to combine our ergonomic, research-driven approach with Logitech G's excellence in technology and innovation. Together, we'll develop high-quality solutions that provide gamers and esports athletes with the utmost support and comfort."
Like traditional sports, esports athletes and professional streamers need the right gear to perform at their best for long periods of time. In addition to long-term health concerns, esports athletes may also experience a loss of focus and a decline in overall performance due to discomfort. The solutions on the market today are not addressing these concerns—in fact, many of the products on the market today focus primarily on aesthetics, rather than research-proven ergonomic design, and can cause more harm than good.
"Logitech G is committed to creating the best gear for gamers. We make that possible through a unique collaboration process between our design and engineering teams, partners and our customers to translate needs and capabilities into products that gamers love," said Peter Kingsley, Chief Marketing Officer at Logitech G. "Herman Miller was the obvious choice for us to partner with given their more than 100 years of expertise. Together we will deliver amazing products with advanced ergonomics, comfort and performance that gamers deserve."
Logitech G and Herman Miller will analyze and incorporate the feedback from esports teams with which they have relationships, including Complexity Gaming, TSM, NaVi and others, into products that address their needs and concerns. The first product of this partnership will be a gaming chair, set to launch in the spring of 2020.

I use the Vertagear triiger series, although Herman Miller are nicer chairs i did find them more expensive, more than i was willing to spend. Though the fabric used would not be considered overally comfortable, it hsa massively helped out my back. I used to use these "gamer chairs" but they were back for the back even with their over premium price

how are those cheaper than Miller chairs? They are all overpriced as hell, at least miller is completely adjustable, and full leather for ~800eur, trigger 350 is also ~800ish, and aside from height adjustable back, it looks like IKEA 30eur chair.

Gaming, Tactical, Military Grade, Industrial, good old marketing buzz words.
AKA: put gaming sticker on the chair and raise the price by $300 xd

It's definitely worse but a Herman Miller office chair, imo, is way nicer than a regular office chair.
I bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair several years ago and have it in my office at work -- multiple people who sit in $100-200 amazon/ikea office chairs comment on how comfortable mine is when they sit in it. Steel Case chairs are similar - sit in a Leap V2 or Gesture than go back to a regular chair is like going from an SSD to a HDD... they both do the same job but one is just so much nicer.
Now I wouldn't recommend to go out and spend $1300 retail on a chair but if you can find one used or purchase it from a reseller like madisonseating for around ~$300-400 it's definitely worth it.
I kind of look at it this way too - ill spend like $800 on a GPU or whatever every 2-3 years that I only use a subset of the time I'm on a computer. My chair I sit in 100% of the time I'm on my computer.. so spending similar to a GPU for even a slightly better experience is worth it.
I mean seriously, is gaming chair really that much better than ordinary office chairs?

Gaming chair seems more about looks and pride in ownership cause some streamer is sitting on it.
Been sitting on Ikea Markus for more than 8 years now. It didn't fell apart...
It's actually worse, very limiting and very annoying. Just imagine sitting in a car seat, one of the more sporty ones, without keeping your legs almost straight up in front of you, but having them in front of you like on a regular chair. Now add time and activities.
