Product Description

Loaded Mirra Chair MR223 with the optional forward tilt seat angle included - Earth Friendly Sustainable design. Mirra is made of a minimal number of parts and is easily disassembled for recycling; the recycled content is high, and it's 96 percent recyclable. Recylable fabric. Latitude back upholstery is 100 percent recyclable. Design Story To create the Mirra chair, Herman Miller teamed with Studio 7.5, a German design firm. Composed of five designers--Claudia Plikat, Burkhard Schmitz, Nicolai Neubert, Carola Zwick, and Roland Zwick--Studio 7.5 has been involved for over 10 years in the design and development of products that improve the way people work. They consider themselves 'the grandchildren of the Eameses' and, like those pioneering designers, they are experts at observing how workers interact with their environments and finding ways to make that interaction more natural. Sharing a genuine passion for seating, they know seating as a science and work to bring it to another level. Rather than relying on any individual in the firm, Studio 7.5 works as a team, without titles or hierarchy. The Mirra chair is a product of their collective imagination, talent, and persistence--along with a willingness to break the mold in order to create a chair that sets a new standard for comfort, fit, balanced ride, and visual refinement in its price range. Studio 7.5 envisioned a chair that reacts to what people do. Part of the concept was to make the chair like a second skin, like a shadow of the sitter. From this concept, Mirra's passive adjustability was born. From the TriFlex back to the AireWeave seat suspension to the Harmonic tilt, Mirra does just what Studio 7.5 worked to achieve: Just sit on it, and it fits. There are only a few adjustment controls, and they are designed to be very intuitive. Mirra features common materials applied in original ways--such as the elastomeric seat suspension and molded polymer back that are used instead of foam and fabric.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Most Definitely The Chair For You - Believe It!, October 24, 2007

By 

Xtian "Xtian" (Roseville, California) - See all my reviews

I am writing to let you know if you're still on the fence about this design beauty, this is definitely the chair for you and you can believe the hype.

I have sat in the Aeron chair, also by Herman Miller as you probably know, for a number of years prior to buying a Mirra for my use at home, and am familiar with how amazingly beneficial a completely comfortable, customizable sitting experience can be. Although I originally intended to purchase a loaded Aeron for my home office, I decided ultimately on the Mirra because of its updated modern look.

Of course, the first thing I did was sit-test each chair back to back at my local Room&Board store which has the same pricing for this chair as Amazon but without the long wait for delivery. I found the Mirra chair to be just as comfortable, if not more so (which in my opinion it is) as the Aeron, and as an added bonus it's less expensive (although if you're considering chairs in this price range this probably isn't such a concern for you).

Some people have complained to Herman Miller about the back of the chair being too ridgid, but I'm betting this could simply be because they haven't taken the time to adjust their chair properly as recommended in the videos on the HM page for this chair and in the manual accompanying the chair (and adjusting the chair is a very simple and fast process). I find the back infinitely comfortable, and in fact even more so than the Aeron because of the additional support. It flexes and moves with you, changing shape as you change position. I was truly amazed when I experienced this, and then saw my partner sit in the chair and observed how it moved with him. However, I definitely feel you ought to sit in this chair first before you purchase one, just to be absolutely certain.

I have owned my beloved Mirra (Graphite on Graphite to be match-safe for future decorating schemes) inside of a week now, and every time I sit in it I feel compelled to sigh with the sheer joy of luxuriating in comfort. I upgraded to this chair after owning a Herman Miller Caper desk chair Multi-Task Caper Task Chair by Herman Miller - Black on Black w/ Molded Plastic Seat for a couple of years. That chair was also comfortable, but arguably a waste of money for me as I ended up having the seat back crack on me twice after about twelve months of use each time. Fortunately, Room&Board and I were able to negotiate their taking back that chair and crediting me towards the price of my Mirra (the chair I should've just bought in the first place).

With many of the same color options as the Aeron and all the same features that have been updated in almost every case since the Aeron's original design, I'm thinking the Mirra is well on its way to becoming the next ubiquitous office chair. As I've said, if you're still on the fence, jump down and test/buy yours today -- you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great chair, but some don't like the back, April 16, 2007

By 

Jack (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

I've had my Mirra for over 3 years now and I love it. The chair arms are particularly nice - they are the perfect shape and very adjustable, with plenty of padding (some other chair arms tend to be too rectangular with uncomfortable edges). The chair bottom is basically identical to the more expensive Aeron and feels just the same to me; easy on the legs, perfect amount of support and keeps you cool. Also, the adjustments on this chair are very easy to use, which is a big improvement over the Aeron.

I find the chair back to be very comfortable and it provides great adjustable lower-back support. However, I've talked to some people who found its rigidity uncomfortable, so I would try sitting in this before buying it as the back seems to be a love it or hate it issue.

Summary: Great chair, plenty of adjustments, great value, very durable so far (after 3+ years)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beats the Aeron, December 8, 2007

By 

New Academy Publishers "New Academy Publishers" (California) - See all my reviews

I spent an hour at a local retailer trying both Aeron and this Mirra. I was not concerned about price, just comfort. I took the Mirra. They both feel great, but the Mirra's tilt dynamics felt better to me. With the Aeron I felt like I needed to help the chair back to upright position, the Mirra responded more naturally. This was after working the tension every which way with help of sales person. The back feels great by the way. Just the right amount of support.
