Herman Miller and Studio 7.5 Unveil Its Eames-inspired 'Zeph' Chair

American furniture brand Herman Miller has teamed up with Studio 7.5 to release the 'Zeph,' an all-new office chair inspired by the Eames Shell Chair -- a popular piece that was praised for its universality and modern design.

The Zeph primarily borrows the Eames' bucket seat shape while introducing its own ergonomically-focused technology. For example, the chair features the brand's special 'Kinetmatic Monoshell' structure, which has been designed to allow the chair to move with a user's body, providing them support in a natural and comprehensive way. In addition, the chair comes with a swappable 3D Knit seat that can be exchanged for a variety of styles and textures.

The new Zeph chair will be available to purchase in August on Herman Miller's online store and will be offered in a wide range of colors.
