Maybe we will finally have a real chair dedicated to video games who puts ergonomics at the center of the equation?
A few months ago, Herman Miller and Logitech announced a collaboration to take over an armchair from the famous equipment manufacturer and put it in the colors of the Swiss brand. Today, the two companies announce that they have started with a clean sheet.
More than 1,000 euros per chair
Launched in the course of 2020, the Embody suffered a little from this “patch” side and many players of course criticized it for its high pricing, at more than 1,300 euros.
The Vantum is presented as an entirely new product which should take advantage of the expertise of both companies. Jon Campbell, General Manager of Gaming at Herman Miller, explains it this way: The Vantum is our answer to a community that demanded more from our partnership. It promises advanced ergonomics, unparalleled quality and the same appeal as the Embody with more color choices and a more accessible price. “.
Indeed, it is impossible not to highlight the effort made by Herman Miller who offers the Vantum in three versions: black Obsidian, red Flare and white Polar. Alas, if it is cheaper than the Embody, the Vantum remains very expensive, at 1,277 euros.
A 12-year warranty
It will of course be necessary to ensure this with a test in good and due form, but the promise does not seem to be made in the air by Herman Miller, which guarantees its product for 12 years all the same!

Looking at the Vantum, consulting the press release published by the two brands and looking at the official product page, it is difficult to see the exact role of Logitech, but among the main assets of the chair, we will retain ” the forward-leaning neutral position of the Vantum “, a maintenance “ at the level of the upper back, neck and head » and the use of the system PostureFit to ensure a good position of the spine.
Adjustable headrest, breathable structure and numerous controls to adjust most of its elements are other advantages of the Vantum that Herman Miller does not hesitate to present as ” your last chair », proof of the confidence he has in his solutions. Enough to justify a pricing to which players are not accustomed, but inevitable to take advantage of a truly ergonomic solution.
