Design
Inspired by suspension bridges—structures that deliver the
most using the least material—Yves Béhar applied the
engineering principles of these amazing structures to create
Sayl. The Eco-Dematerialized™ design of the work chair and
stool uses less material in more inventive ways to provide
ergonomic support for people up to 159 kg (350 pounds).
Sayl’s unframed back and Y-Tower® support create a
striking visual aesthetic that reveals both the designer’s
inspiration and intent. Whether you choose the full-suspension
or upholstered back, an expressive colour palette gives you
plenty of options for personalising your chair.
About Yves Béhar
A graduate of the Art Centre College of Design, Yves Béhar
started out working with high-tech Silicon Valley clients,
eventually gravitating to the sport, apparel, technology, and
furniture arenas. His admiration of Charles and Ray Eames
first attracted him to Herman Miller. “Design is very much at
the centre of Herman Miller’s culture,” he says. “So one day
I just picked up the phone, called them, and said, ‘Let’s work
together.’” His collaborations with Herman Miller include
Sayl chairs and Public Office Landscape™.
Optional lumbar support, available on Sayl work chairs and stools, can be adjusted vertically to fit
the natural curve of your spine.
