Cool, colorful Caper chairs help people quickly and easily come together, move around, move apart--whatever the work requires. Both the multipurpose and stacking models are lightweight and mobile for impromptu change. They are ideal for informal, flexible spaces where reconfiguration is encouraged, smaller scale is important, and budget is a concern. |

Universal Design
Multiple uses. One chair provides a variety of solutions--meeting spots, multipurpose rooms, workstation guest seating, drop-in and hoteling workstations, conference rooms, team areas, break-out spaces, and training areas.
Multiple places. Caper works in the office and beyond--retail, hospitality, education, health care, and recreational environments.
Multiple users. One chair fits all kinds of different people as it supports many different work styles.
Lean, Lightweight, Agile
Easy to move. Caper chairs, available with casters or glides, weigh about half as much as competitive models.
Easy on floors. Stacking chairs are available with Floor Saver Glides, ideal for vinyl composition tiles (VCT); the glide pushes dirt out of the way instead of running it over and grinding it into the tile.
Staying aligned. Stacking chairs with ganging connectors can be easily linked to maintain orderly rows of properly-spaced seating; connectors come installed and don't interfere with stacking.
Compact size. Uses valuable floor space efficiently.
Ergonomic Support
Healthful comfort. The contoured, flexible seat and back evenly distribute weight, minimize pressure points, and let the user move freely.
Aeration. The seat and back are perforated with small holes to help keep the sitter cool.
Advanced materials. Seats are available with FLEXNET, a strong, breathable suspension material that enhances comfort and distributes weight evenly.
Sustainable Design
Strict standards. The Caper chair adheres to the McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol.
Certified. The Caper stackable side chair is certified to MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver. Caper is GREENGUARD certified and can contribute to LEED certification.
Aesthetics
Light and clean. Fits in without dominating the look or feel of a workspace.
Coordinating design. A visual companion to nontraditional work chairs; its colors and form make Caper an ideal side-chair complement to the Mirra work chair.
Fresh look. Caper's 14 colors energize the workspace; from subtle, sophisticated neutrals to saturated brights; 5 colors match the Mirra chair molded back. |

Design Story
Research shows that an increasing number of people are doing more work in places other than their individual offices or workstations. Now people often work in spaces that can be used by a variety of people throughout the day. As a result, increasing demands for comfort, space efficiency, and ergonomic support are being placed on the secondary seating used in places like conference, project, training, and multipurpose rooms.
However, chairs often used in these spaces were designed for some other purpose and don't have the required capabilities, including easy mobility, light scale, compact footprint, and simple-to-use adjustments.
To develop a solution for hard-working, multiuse spaces, Herman Miller built on its extensive work chair research base and applied it to secondary seating. The result is Caper chair. It was designed by Jeff Weber of Studio Weber + Associates, using universal design principles to create one seating product that accommodates the diversity of people, tasks, and behaviors in a multitude of areas.
Weber says the chair achieves its high level of performance and comfort by "using standard materials in novel ways." It's also delivered with integrity. In keeping with Herman Miller's commitment to environmental responsibility, Caper has a high percentage of post-consumer content and is 100 percent recyclable. And the design requires less energy and material to build and recycle.
The Caper family provides all this at an affordable price. "Too much good design seems expensive," Weber says. "I wanted to break that cliche."
