Herman Miller Caper Stacking Chair With Molded Seat

Description

The Caper Chair is a light and portable option for group seating. Whether you’re looking to fill a boardroom or a cafeteria, or just for a couple of side chairs, these are a bright and colorful option. The lightweight chair makes it a lot lighter than most of its fellows, i.e., easier to move from place to place. These are great options for office and homes that need a lot of chairs that can serve a lot of purposes. Loose, inexpensive, and extremely flexible – a model for the modern company, and the modern office.
The Herman Miller Caper Chair is a new arrival on the scene of flexible, playful office furniture. It’s got a breezy feel and a curvilinear, engaging profile. The back of the chair is almost freestanding, relying very little on traditional support (poles or bars that run up the sides of the chair, all the way to the shoulder). The small holes that dot the seat and back not only look great, they allow air to pass freely between the user and the atmosphere, cutting down on heat buildup and discomfort. They also bring to mind a part of designer Jeff Weber’s design philosophy; that industrial design items like chairs and desks should be the connective tissue between people and their environments. The holes make it seem as if the Caper Chair is both; a solid piece of design fading to the environment, and vice versa. Another part of Weber’s design criteria, that every piece of material be both aesthetically pleasing and functional, is expressed in the simple materials of the chair. There are the legs, polished and elegant, and all one piece. And then the sweeping, gentle curves of the back and seat, which are separated but similar.
