Herman Miller Setu – Configurator

Only the best for your guests: The Setu creates a comfortable seating at minimal material costs and offers its users a good feeling at their own workplace.

With the Setu Herman Miller introduced a space-saving guest chair that makes sitting at conferences, meetings or part-time jobs a pleasure. Sitting down on this lightweight passes nearly unnoticed. That is because of 'Lyris 2' - an elastomer material that is more of an innovative construction material than an ordinary textile. A flexible contexture with which both the seat and the back rest of the Setu are coated provides a pleasant suspension. Accordingly, sitting is more comfortable and sufficiently ventilated. 

Kinematic Spine makes a big range of functions obsolete 

The Setu was designed so that it requires only one size to meet the requirements of most of the body heights and back curvatures. The secret of this comfort is the Kinematic Spine technology, which is this guest chair's core element. The back rest is made from two different types of polypropylen to control the resistance optimally.

The comfortable sitting experience is based on the tilt resistance which means that the body weight is always supported when leaning back. The back rest support flatters the natural body movements and thereby offers an unrestricted flexibility to its user. When used as a conference chair the Setu lasts out with a classic height adjustment. With the DesignCabinet you can purchase the Setu with solid arm rests – this offers you the comfort to perform easy desk work as well. 

The result of collaborative designs

The Setu was designed as a collective work of Herman Miller and the Berlin designers of Studio 7.5. This team of designers signifies collaborative approaches like no other, which allows them to think ideas up to their ultimate ends. This is what the designers already proved with the outstanding Mirra 2. For the Setu, however, they chose a simpler product design with stylish curves to a lower material cost. Therewith the guest chair is not only light-weighted but also ecofriendly above average. Also, because the Setu is built from recycled material for most parts.
