Design Story
Ambi responds to today's ergonomic realities by providing high-value, lower-cost ergonomic seating. Designed by Richard Holbrook, Ambi derives its name from the Latin word for "both." Ambi provides both comfort and superior ergonomic support. Its adaptability allows it to perform both as a general office chair and dedicated task chair. It fits both large and small people, and everyone in between.
Herman Miller applied its three decades years of ergonomic seating research to the design of the Ambi chair. That research was supplemented with focus groups and user tests of benchmark products, which showed how people were dissatisfied with existing chairs in the mid-low price range. Common complaints were uncomfortable seat cushions, flimsy arms, tilt mechanisms that didn't provide a balanced ride, and poor lower back support. Based on this kind of information, design criteria from the customer's perspective were established that guided the design process.
Later in the development process, Ambi prototypes were field-tested and measured against the competition. Also, R&D testing made sure the chair meets today's real world workplace needs. For example, the tilt mechanism was subjected to a minimum of one million cycles-more than five times the ANSI/BIFMA requirements.
Holbrook designed the Ambi chair entirely with a computer, using 3D modeling technology. To ensure the chair's quality and durability, its performance was measured by parametric modeling, which goes well beyond what testing alone can simulate. |
