Name: Herman Miller Setu
Brand: Herman Miller

A minimal chair whose only manual adjustment is seat height; the back flexes by design. Herman Miller publishes no seat-height range in metric for the EMEA version.

What the Setu lets you adjust, as published by Herman Miller. "Option" means it costs extra or depends on the configuration you order.

Fit: seat height against EN 1335

Herman Miller does not publish a metric seat-height range for this chair, so we cannot place it against EN 1335. Ask the seller for the data sheet before buying.
