Embodied Experience



Spotted this beauty at a shop at Vivocity. The bright orange sure is attractive, and turns out this is the Embody chair, successor to the highly acclaimed Aeron by Herman Miller.

Pretty chair. Fancy ergonomics. Not really customizable. Atrocious pricetag ($2500). And oh by the way, it arrived 2 weeks ago and is now out of stock in Singapore. Waiting period? 3 months. Hello? Out of stock within 2 weeks? At $2,500 a pop? I thought we are in Recession. Some of our shopping habits here really astound me. So are we in recession or not?

chairs made from cow butty said...

looks like a fancy-mancy chair... dun think its worth the 2.5k... my woriginal W given Hermann Miller looks more comfortable... besides, i like teh utilitarian look... this one a bit too funky... hmmm i wonder how come all these expensive chairs are sooo popular... i mean their job is just to hold one's bum.... in fact my mesh chair seems more apt with W's butty! the mesh will thankfully disperse any farty poots!!.... we just had to throw one of W's chairs away... i think it been farted on till death... doomed to the bin..
