When we sat on it, we immediately experienced this, thanks to the Auto-Harmonic Tilt™, intercept suspension, and flexible framework that work together to do this. Before receiving its official name, Cosm was codenamed Flying Carpet because the aim of the project was to develop a chair that captured a feeling of weightlessness, similar to when you are flying. While this is not a new offering, the way it is done in the Cosm is a testament to the brains and the talent hard at work for all those years. The chair has been over a decade in the making, and one of its key features is the ability to accommodate individual users automatically without the need for manual adjustment. As Carl puts it, “there’s a hidden intelligence that you don’t see, but it makes all the difference”. But it’s one piece design and salient aesthetics aren’t the only aspect that set it apart. The look of the chair follows Herman Miller’s mesh dominant aesthetic, with a stunning exoskeletal form that immediately grabs your attention. Leave it to the makers of America’s (and possibly the world’s?) best selling office chair to produce another marvel. Besides being the brand’s first task chair with an automatic tilt, it also sports a suspension armrest, which we believe is an industry first. Carl Burkitt, Market Manager for UAE & Oman, walked us through the chair’s inspiration, development story and myriad features.ĭesigned by Berlin based Studio 7.5, Cosm is a first for Herman Miller in more ways than one. We collected at the Herman Miller offices in Dubai Marina, all poised and ready for the big reveal and test. And we finally got our chance, so we invited Salwa Najafi from Gensler and Aleksandra Nastic from Woods Bagot to weigh in with us. For this review, to ensure that our viewpoint wouldn’t be terribly biased (for we were clearly in love), we invited designers Aleksandra Nastic of Woods Bagot, and Salwa Najafi from Gensler, to try it for themselves and give us their unfiltered opinion.Įver since Salone Del Mobile 2018, where we first laid eyes on the Cosm, we were waiting to get our hands on it for a review. And at the far end of this spectrum sits Herman Miller’s latest release, the Cosm. In between the two lies a chasm of design excellence and engineering superiority that only a handful of products can cross. And then there are Herman Miller office chairs.
