Flo Monitor Arm
Herman Miller’s Flo monitor arm will receive the 2010 “Red Dot” award for product design. The 36 experts examined 4,433 products over several days. The competition saw an increase in the submissions for the IT industry, telecommunications and consumer electronics. Considered by many to be the largest, most distinguished international design competition, receiving the award is an absolute honor!

“Good design cannot be overestimated for business success,” explains Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and president of the competition. “It is the obvious and appealing design of a product that creates a direct, intuitive connection with the consumer. But design can do much more: It links the user to the product and the brand alike; it creates confidence in quality performances; and in the best of cases, it demonstrates the responsibility of the manufacturer towards his clients, the environment, and all those involved in the production process. Only those who design their products in an exemplary way will be awarded in the red dot design award and can refer to this outstanding distinction with justified pride.”

Ergonomics with Herman Miller

William Dowell - Herman Miller's Chief Ergonomist
Herman Miller’s Chief Ergonomists, William Dowell, joined Intereum’s Sales and Design teams for an ergonomic lunch and learn earlier this week. Lured by lunch, this blogger attended. The following are some brief take-aways:
Repetitive motion injury costs have decreased by one third in the past decade. Awareness of and training on ergonomics in the workplace is attributed for this reduction. Great job to employers who are investing up front in the health of their employees!
Dual Monitor Arms
Dual monitor arms increase productivity and are a smart way to use real estate. Here are three reasons to use monitor arms:
- Shift Work/Shared Workstations. This makes sense as focal points vary from person to person.
- As a user shifts position and posture, they will need to move their monitor arm.
- An individual’s focal point changes throughout the day – regardless of seated posture and position.

Question: What’s the recipe for healthy sitting?
Answer: A combination of sitting and standing. Studies are showing that as little as five minutes of standing per hour replenishes the sitting muscles. However, it is ideal for workhorse employees who are tied to their workstations for more than six hours to have a sit to stand workspace.
Last week, Ellen gave her audience Herman Miller Setu chairs. Another popular chair moment on Ellen.
