Equa 2 Chair

Home  :  Healthcare  :  Herman Miller
In 1990, Time magazine named the Equa chair one of three consumer-product "designs of the decade."

In 1995 with the Equa 2 chair, Herman Miller made this breakthrough design even better, adding adjustable lumbar support, an extensive seat-height range, and arms that pivot and adjust vertically. There's a reason a chair like this doesn't come along often. Try one out, and you'll see why.
The Equa 2 chair makes for good health and
good looks in any work environment.

Features and Benefits
  • The Equa 2 chair features the patented Equa shell, a single piece of fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin designed for dynamic sitting.
  • An H-shaped cutout lets the back and seat flex separately, so the chair moves naturally with the user and provides good lower back support for every work posture. The H-shaped cutout also lets air circulate, preventing heat buildup during long-term sitting.
  • The shell is manufactured in an environmentally safe way, with integral color and durable materials for a long, hard-working life.
  • To fit a broad range of people, the Equa 2 work chair comes in three shell sizes A, B, and C, so everyone, from smaller and lighter to taller and heavier men and women, can have uncompromised comfort and support.
  • An optional tilt-lock feature secures the work chair in an upright position for work-intensive postures. Equa 2 stools, unlike most stools, also have a tilt option.
  • People can easily adjust the arms of the Equa 2 chair to suit their size and activity. Each arm adjusts vertically in a 4-inch range and laterally up to 3/4 inch.
  • The pneumatic adjustment provides generous seat height ranges to accommodate shorter and taller workers--and everyone in between.
  • The A and B-size chairs lower to 15 1/2 inches, and the C-size rises to 22 1/2 inches. The knee-tilt mechanism facilitates natural body movement between work postures, from upright to reclined.
  • The Equa 2 chair's armrests pivot up to 25 degrees to give computer users comfortable and healthful forearm support while keyboarding and mousing.
  • A warm, slightly textured finish on the aluminum base and frame doesn't show scuffs and scrapes, and adds an understated touch of elegance that blends with a range of office interiors.
Design Story

The Equa 2 chair was designed by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick to give everyone--regardless of status, work style, or physical shape--the comfort and support that only come with superior ergonomic design.

Offered in three sizes, the Equa 2 chair accommodates the wide variety of people in today's diverse working population. While most office chairs are designed only for "average-sized" people, the Equa 2 chair gives men and women, whether they're average or not, an exact fit.

The distinctive design of the original Equa models is preserved and refreshed in the Equa 2 chair. The trademark contours and softly rounded edges form a clean-cut, flowing profile. A warm, slightly textured finish on the aluminum base and frame adds an understated touch of elegance-and doesn't show scuffs and scrapes. This refined Equa 2 look blends with all kinds of office environments.

Enriched ergonomics provide any user with healthful comfort. The adjustable lumbar support, extensive seat-height range, and fully adjustable arms let the Equa 2 chair give equal support for every working posture. Whether it's long hours at the VDT, a quick phone conversation, or a casual staff meeting, the Equa 2 chair adapts, delivering consistently exceptional performance. Its adjustments, combined with a shell that flexes responsively, make all positions natural in the Equa 2 chair.

The processes and materials used in the manufacture of the Equa 2 chair support Herman Miller's commitment to preserving the environment. They also make possible the look that has distinguished the Equa chair since it was first introduced. Now, with a freshened yet kindred appearance, the Equa 2 chair blends well with existing Equa seating.
