 Cascade Engineering has worked with several industry leaders on groundbreaking seating products, such as Herman Miller and Knoll. After co-developing the successful Aeron Chair several years earlier, Herman Miller chose Cascade Engineering to develop a new seating solution for the Mirra Chair, a product in the mid-market seating category.
Challenge
To custom design and manufacture a unique complex ergonomic seatback that provides structural strength, while maintaining a mid-level price point.
Solution
By collaborating with leading material and tooling experts, we were able to produce a lightweight, structural spine and perforated seatback that achieved the design and support requirements.
Results
The chair incorporated the following:
- Designed For Environment (DFE)
- Lightweight structural spine
- Recyclable materials
- Sophisticated tool design
- Multiple colors
- Cost-effective materials
- 850-ton and 1,000-ton molding
