Mirra 2
Designed by Studio 7.5
Lean, light, and as responsive as your own shadow
A balance of comfort and personalised ergonomics in one sophisticated design
Rethinking an Original
Precisely because of the new agile way people work today, the designers found the idea of a highly individualized personal chair still valid. While Studio 7.5 retained the athletic attitude and intuitive adjustments of the original Mirra, they advanced the material and form in virtually every aspect to create the new and improved Mirra 2.
Testing Ideas, Full-Scale
Using full-scale models, the designers of Studio 7.5 test the validity of a design and its component parts. For Mirra 2, every piece received this tactile, real-world treatment until the most elegant solutions emerged.
Less Material, Used Intelligently
Building on its legacy as the first office chair developed from the ground up with environmental responsibility in mind, Mirra 2 moves responsible design forward by advancing the use and reuse of materials. In redesigning Mirra, as in all their work, the mantra at Studio 7.5 was “every molecule counts.” By this they mean a close examination of every element is essential to using the least material possible while also advancing performance.
“Design by its nature is collaborative.”
Support for people who work in a constant state of motion
As work evolves, and we become more active, shifting from individual to collaborative work in an instant, we need tools designed to be as agile as our work style. To address this need, the designers of Studio 7.5 set out to create a high-performing chair that supports people who work in a constant state of motion.
Support in Motion
Support for seated movement starts with a flexible, yet supportive design that allows your body to move freely and naturally. Mirra 2’s Loop Spine provides torsional flex, allowing you to stretch and reach laterally, while the Harmonic 2 tilt provides a smooth, balanced feel as you recline.
Butterfly Back or TriFlex
Two back options help Mirra 2 work for a variety of people and applications. The ultra-responsive Butterfly Back results from inventing a method for merging a fabric layer with polymer veins to create a dynamic hybrid structure that acts like a suspension membrane. The TriFlex back meets more rigorous cleaning protocols because there is no fabric layer.
PostureFit
Both Mirra 2 back options offer passive PostureFit sacral support to keep your spine properly aligned as you sit. And both are ventilated to keep you cool, as well as supported, no matter how active you are.
Immediate comfort and personalized ergonomics
Mirra 2 moves with the person, at one with the body. When you sit, the seat and back adapt to you instantly. With dynamic surfaces that respond to your slightest movements and simple, intuitive adjustments to fine-tune the fit, Mirra 2 balances immediate comfort and personalized ergonomics in one sophisticated design.
