I love chairs (or specifically the design of chairs, and all furniture design), I also to a lesser extent love videogames. Never, has it ever been useful, important or productive for the one to cater exclusively to the other. Unless people specifically enjoy looking at this abominations in some sort of ironic way.
Gaming and it's culture is too esoteric a need, to require a specific form of chair. Offering a triangle shaped Dorito holder in an armrest is not nice design.

Just make a new thread lol.
Those looks like Embody's. Much more attractive than the racing seats that are common in this space.
That chair does not look like it is worth that price
Sorry i'm working class

It's more that they are a luxury brand in the space. I'm not buying marked up Embody's.
They also sell these:

I am, I guess for some reason I thought that maybe this line might be a little more affordable.
I think they misunderstood the gaming market here.
I don't think this segment will drop 1500 bucks on stuff they can get for 400--Secret Labs for example. Secret Labs makes the traditional racing style chairs.
They also released a gaming desk.

You can get Jarvis from Fully at around 1/3 of the price of this.

I should add that at that price the lounge chair is cheap compared to what I have to pay where I live.It's more that they are a luxury brand in the space. I'm not buying marked up Embody's.

$1300 for a big plank of wood on sticks. My IKEA desk looks like this and it was less than $200. I get the chair because you have to sit in that all day but this desk price is crazy.They also released a gaming desk.

Yeah. It's not even a crazy design. It's mega generic looking lol.
Herman Miller? God no. But yeah, "Massdrop x" of products are always much cheaper than they should be.
Yep, and even a fully loaded 60x30 Uplift commercial sit-stand is cheaper by $300.They also released a gaming desk.

That looks like a $100 desk. What am I missing?
It's artsy, man lol.
I know everyone is hating, but this is really the best set up Herman Miller could come up with?
Why are those books on the floor?
It's a motorised standing/sitting desk. Still costs a lot, but the comparable Ikea one is $600 (and by most accounts, their standing desks are very much on the 'cheap and cheerful' side of things).
So it's just an embody with a "gaming" skin.
Bleh.
I've sat in an embody so this is going to be way better than other "gaming" chairs. But I was hoping they would actually put effort and offer something that caters to the quirks of gaming on a PC or heck even a console because while their lineup is limited each chair is good at what they are designed to do.
A reskin isn't what I was hoping for.
They really misread this market. Gamers are not playing 1500 for a chair like this. These things will be clearance in time.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Didn't realise that. Selling motorised standing desks to "Gamers" is pretty funny of itself though to be honest.
Why are those books on the floor?
Won't be needing books or anything anymore after you have the perfect posture and support to pull off 1080 noscope headshots with ease, cleaning up every gaming tournament you enter.
This is overpriced but even Ikea doesn't sell their motorized standing desks for 200. They sell them for 500.
Fully, which makes better stand/stand motorized desk than IKEA have similar desks that start at 450.
And better is based on industry reviews, not my opinion.
This one is 3x that price and basically looks the same.
Not necessarily. A gamer who can afford this price tag is a well paid professional and from my observations standing desks are becoming en vogue among them.
Man I wish I could afford a Herman Miller chair at all let alone this one, they look dope and must be mad comfortable.
Outlets, sales, and second hand are good options. eBay is also decent. Never get these full price. Herman Miller also has a twice yearly sale. Also some office furniture warehouses sometimes sell these to the public.
All these luxury brands and stores tend to have twice yearly sales. I'm expecting more due to coronavirus.
I know everyone is hating, but this is really the best set up Herman Miller could come up with?

Fortnite YouTubers Buy Mansion, Decorate It Like Sad Teenagers
Behold the One Percent Fortnite house, a mansion some gaming YouTubers bought and proceeded to turn into a vaguely fun-looking giant home office. It’s both a reminder that even when you’ve “made it” as an influencer the grind never stops, and also that most people have no idea how to decorate a...

You're definitely right about price but you gotta also factor in the crazy warranty HM has, I'm not defending the price but it is something. IKEA probably wouldn't even pay you no mind after a couple months while this and the chair is 12 years
Gonna start looking into it because I'm in need of one, I have one of those vertagear "gaming chairs" and it's one of the worst purchases I've made. So uncomfortable plus I called them to have a part replaced in January and I'm still waiting for it. Thanks.
