Intelligent innovation

When Jerome Caruso imagined Celle, he envisioned something brand new— intelligently pliable seat and back surfaces that know how to respond properly when you sitdown, work, and move.

Caruso patented his innovation and named it Cellular Suspension™ because the surface is composed of smallpads, which he called cells. He connected the cells with springy loops.

Caruso likens the suspension’s effect to buoyancy. Water supports you as you float, forming and reforming as you move.

Targeted flex

By varying the loop depths, we engineered different levels of flex throughout the seating surface. That let us target different areas of a person’s body with the right amount of give. And no two of Celle’s 1,350 cells are alike. Each is contoured to follow the chair’s healthful curves, including a passive PostureFit, for exceptional lower-back support. This was accomplished with the simplest of materials: Polypropylene.

Ergonomic control and comfort

Cellular Suspension is a pliable matrix of small pads, called cells, which are connected by spring-like loops. The molded-polymer cells and loops are engineered so that areas of the seat and back have different amounts of flex to properly support different parts of the body. In the backrest, for example, the scapular region has more flex so it gives when you move or recline. The sacral area has less flex for firm lower-back support.

The Harmonic tilt lets a person maintain balance and control while moving smoothly throughout the 28-degree tilt range. Seat and back contours provide healthful support.

A passive PostureFit® contour at the backrest’s base keeps the spine properly aligned during upright or forward sitting. With its full package of adjustments and adaptable Cellular Suspension, a Celle chair fits almost everyone comfortably.

Adjustments include seat height and depth; arm width, height, and pivot; tilt limiter and tilt tension; forward seat angle; and lumbar height and depth.

Comfort in motion

To complement the natural support of the Cellular Suspension, Celle incorporates Herman Miller’s patented Harmonic™ tilt.

The synchronous, calibrated mechanism lets you move naturally through the
chair’s wide, 28-degree recline range.

Without effort, you stay balanced and feel in control.
