Have you ever wanted to buy an Aeron chair specially designed for esports and professional streaming? That may be possible soon.
Herman Miller has announced that it has formed a partnership with Logitech’s gaming division to create “high-performance furniture solutions for gamers.” Their first product, a gaming chair, will launch in the spring this year.

There isn’t any indication of what it’ll look like, but we can expect something that’s very expensive. Herman Miller’s chairs typically cost hundreds of dollars – up to thousands for something as “simple” as a padded chair.
The chair may also adopt Logitech G’s tried-and-true color scheme, which comprises blacks and grays with tinges of neon blue. Maybe it’ll even have RGB lighting effects when gamers sit on it.
“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.”
“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.”
Herman Miller is best known for its iconic Aeron chair, which is reportedly the best-selling chair ever. The original was conceived in 1994 by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, but it was given a few tweaks in 2016 – “zoned suspension, enhanced spinal support, and intuitive adjustments for enhanced comfort.” The Aeron retails for $1,395.
