Herman Miller features widely in the November edition of British Airway's Business Life magazine, in a cover story titled 'A Short History of the Office Chair'.  The article which looks at the major landmarks in seating in over 150 years of design evolution, features five Herman Miller chairs, including Ergon, Equa, Aeron, Embody and SAYL and the Hag Capisco chair.

BA Business Life has a circulation of 572,000 and a wider executive business reach than The Economist, TIME and Management Today.

 Wellworking attended Orgatec 2010 in Cologne last week, looking at new innovations and products for 2011 release.  Herman Miller delivered the hugely anticipated Sayl chair confirming first UK deliveries in late February 2011.  With insights into the design process and the first opportunity to sample both the task and side chairs we are looking forward to this revolutionary new seating solution.  Also on display were forthcoming additions to the Setu chair, with some innovative home applications on offer.  Stay tuned for more details.

Elite furniture also displayed their seating, breakout and desking ranges and Wellworking are looking forward to continue to expand our offering of this fantastic UK made product.

Orgatec also saw the office furniture industry's reaction to the political & economic climate with a focus on affordable yet environmentally friendly solutions, particularly from established industry leaders such as Kloeber, Herman Miller, CBS and Elite.  With so many great new products scheduled for 2011 it looks like next year will be another busy one!

Among thousands of submissions from 46 countries Hag Futu has been awarded in the category Product Design for its outstanding environmental design and low carbon footprint. Hag strengthens its environmental leadership and was the only task chair awarded in its category. Since the launch in 2008 the chair has received several international recognitions such as the internationally renowned Red Dot Award and the Design Excellence Award and the Environmental Award from the Norwegian Design Council.

Launching at Orgatec this year, and available to order from late October 2010, Herman Miller will introduce SAYL chairs, a new attainable seating family designed in collaboration with Yves Béhar (designer of the Leaf Light).

As a family of work and side chairs, SAYL has been created to give you the design, innovation, quality and performance you would expect from Herman Miller - healthy ergonomics, materials and performance advances, environmental responsibility and 12-year warranty – at an attainable price.

Wellworking have recently completed another successful project.  Molinare are the largest privately owned post production company in the UK and when they refurbished their Digital Intermediate theatre Wellworking were selected as the furniture supplier by the appointed architect.  

We supplied 25 Herman Miller Bumblebee chairs for the theatre and the Embody chair was selected for the editing desks.  This is just one of a number of projects that Wellworking have successfully delivered for both this client and architect.  

For more information and to see the stunning photos of this project coming soon...
