Herman Miller Ergonomic Desk & Chair: One company I did not expect to see at a show like CES is high-end furniture maker Herman Miller. But the company opted to show off its latest options in the ergonomic office. When you think about it, techies are spending hours on end at the computer playing video games, watching/downloading content, working, or even just surfing the Web and social networking sites.

Eames® Molded Plastic Chair with Dowel-leg Base
The iconic Eames® Molded Plastic Chairs continue to be extremely popular since they debuted in 1951. A landmark design from Charles and Ray Eames,these organically shaped plastic seat shells were later combined with various base designs. The next reintroduction to this line is the highly demanded wood dowel-leg base. The wooden dowels bring a softer aesthetic to the chairs allowing them to play in a wider range of environments while the metal rods associate back to many other Eames designs. Today’s chairs are true to the originals, with updated, eco-friendly materials. Herman Miller will officially offer this new base option in November.
Herman Miller Sense Desking System
Herman Miller has a new addition to their desking portfolio with the November 2, 2009 introduction of the Sense™ desking system. Sense’s simple, modern lines offer an appealing European aesthetic, but the real beauty lies in its ease of assembly. All parts simply lock, click, or snap into place without tools. A desk can be assembled in just seconds, translating into real savings for your customers. For more info click here
