Herman Miller's innovative new Mirra work chair has received a Gold Award in the Best of NeoCon 2003 Competition. The Mirra chair won in the Desk/Workstation/Task category.
The result of more than four years of research and development, Mirra is a high-performing, environmentally advanced work chair that sets a new reference point for ergonomic comfort, aesthetics, sustainability and price in the mid-price office seating market.
Mirra utilizes an innovative combination of both passive and active seating adjustments to deliver natural performance and long-term comfort for a wide range of body types and postures. Passive adjustments automatically respond to each user's body shape and movements to provide outstanding support; active adjustments give users the ability to fine-tune their sitting experience for even greater comfort.
Mirra's NeoCon Gold Award extends Herman Miller's legacy of leadership in design innovation. Herman Miller's recent "Best of NeoCon" winners include the Ambi chair, Gold Award, 1995; the Aeron chair, Silver, 1995; the Levity Collection of computer support furniture, Gold, 1998; Best of NeoCon, Best of Competition, Most Innovative, and Gold Award in "Furniture Systems" for Resolve, 1999; Caper seating, Gold, 1999; and Resolve Design on Textile program, Gold, 2001.
The Best of NeoCon Competition honors new products introduced to the U.S. market since the close of the previous year's NeoCon. It is sponsored by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Contract magazine, and Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc.
The Mirra chair is on display at Herman Miller's Chicago National Design Center, 321 Merchandise Mart, during NeoCon 2003, taking place June 16-18.
