ASARI By Herman Miller
Collection: Asari
Designer: Naoto Fukasawa
Manufacture year: 2023
Type: Swivel fabric office chair with armrests
Asari is a medium-back office chair with armrests available in 2 variants: fixed armrests and height-adjustable armrests. Asari is the new seat by Herman Miller and designer Naoto Fukasawa, offering sophisticated ergonomic performance in a soft form and comfortable, elegant design. Asari was inspired by organic forms found in nature. Its name means “clam” in Japanese and is an anthropomorphic metaphor for the shape of the chair’s back, which is available in high- and mid-back height. Eight colour flood options accentuate the sculptural form by featuring one hue across the base, arms and chair body. Bespoke blended options are also available, with over 180 colour combinations available to contract customers. Asari provides the initial instant comfort desired in an upholstered chair with the long-term benefits expected from work chair. Tailored for the user, a synchronous self-adjusting tilt provides natural movement while PostureFit® adjusts to fill the void that exists between the lower back and the back of the chair, providing natural alignment of the spine. The contoured seat pad minimises pressure points and provides the ultimate support. Herman Miller collaborated with leading interiors textile creator Maharam, a brand within the MillerKnoll collective, to introduce new materials to the office seating portfolio. Guided by the Maharam Design Studio’s expertise, two textiles and a leather have been curated to suit the character of the chair: Meld, Luce and Stow. Maharam’s Meld and Luce woven textiles are constructed with wool and polyester sustainably sourced throughout Europe. Maharam’s Stow leather is sourced from a boutique tannery in Northern Italy and reflects the brand’s carefully honed techniques passed down over generations as one of the oldest leather producers in the world.
