Name: Bumper Lounge Chair
Brand: Herman Miller
Availability: OutOfStock

With its gentle sweep and excellent lumbar support, comfort is paramount in the Bumper Chair’s deceptively simple, nearly seam‑free design. The arm cap and inner and outer shells are shaped from a single piece of upholstery, creating a continuous, uninterrupted welt around the seat. Originally introduced in 1964, the Bumper Chair’s robust portfolio of customisation options includes numerous textiles and leather upholsteries, as well as a series of bases, making it the perfect chair for a variety of lounge, living and work spaces.

This lounge chair has upholstered inner and outer shells and arm cap, each made from one continuous piece of fabric or leather, and an upholstered seat cushion. The frame is rigid molded urethane with foam inserts. The 4-star, swivel-return base is polished cast aluminum with black glides.
