Herman Miller is taking a win in the esports sphere with a new limited-edition gaming chair model, right on the heels of gaming accessories maker Razer unleashing its own Herman Miller-like chair.

The furniture giant’s gaming division has joined forces with the G2 Esports organization to build upon its own top-performing Embody Gaming Chair. The co-branded addition is Herman Miller Gaming’s first-ever esports product collaboration, and it aims to invite gamers to “Break the Meta” by prioritizing their health and wellbeing.

For the uninitiated, the legendary design house founded Herman Miller Gaming in 2020 in conjunction with Logitech G to weave its wealth of expertise into the world of gaming.

Inspired by G2’s brand identity, the customized chair incorporates splashes of red to highlight functional elements such as height adjustment and arm pad triggers. It also boasts a unique RF weld design, echoing the G2 logo geometry with an arced v-shape.

“Collaborating with esteemed partner Herman Miller, we’ve redefined the pinnacle of gaming chairs,” details Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 Esports. “Optimal gear undeniably empowers our players, and we’re thrilled to unveil this exclusive product to the wider esports and gaming world.”

Only 250 units of the G2-branded Embody Gaming Chair will be produced, with each collectible piece individually numbered.

The limited edition will be available for global purchase starting September 26 via Herman Miller’s website.
