Design
When approaching the design of the Keyn Chair Group,
forpeople were determined that every version of the chair
would retain the same visual appeal. To achieve this, they
designed every chair in the group from only four key parts:
base, cradle, seat shell, and a selection of upholstery options.
The latter ranges from a simple seat-pad through to fully
upholstered versions.
Together these four parts create a universally elegant
aesthetic, which can be transformed through colour, material
and finish choices to create a variety of styles for any space.
Combine a clean white finish with fresh bright colours for
a casual area. Choose a polished base and fully-upholstered
leather for an executive feel. The reverse contrast option
brings a burst of accent colour to a more restrained palette.
About forpeople
A design company that has partnered with Herman Miller since
2009, forpeople follows a design philosophy that is contained
in its name. The people of forpeople believe that design is not
an abstract, theoretical exercise. It is first and foremost for the
people who use it. All of forpeople’s work – design for
products, services, experiences – starts with how people feel,
think and do. And it ends with improving people’s lives.
By changing the base, finish and upholstery, the Keyn Chair Group can be tailored for use in a café, meeting room,
workshop space or boardroom.
