Studio 7.5設計的Mirra 2的增強功能反映了赫曼密勒持續推進可持續性和人體工程學的承諾
ZEELAND, Mich., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Herman Miller and Studio 7.5 have revisited the Mirra 2 Chair and Stool, further reducing the design's carbon footprint by reassessing how every element could be more sustainably made. The refresh leans into material innovations while simultaneously advancing the chair's suite of performance-enhancing technology and styling options. The result is a new Mirra 2 that's physically light and lighter on the environment.
2024年10月30日,密歇根州齊蘭市/PRNewswire/——赫曼密勒和Studio 7.5重新審視了Mirra 2椅子和凳子,通過重新評估每個元素如何更加可持續地製造,進一步減少了設計的碳足跡。該更新側重於材料創新,同時推進椅子的一系列性能增強技術和樣式選擇。其結果是一個新的Mirra 2,物理上輕巧,對環境負擔更輕
Since its introduction, Mirra 2 has been on a trajectory to become Herman Miller's most sustainable performance seating design. In the early 2000s, Herman Miller collaborated with global environmental experts at MBDC, the creators of the Cradle to Cradle Certified Program––the global standard for products that are safe, circular, and responsibly made––to establish "Design for the Environment" protocols which helped guide the development of the original Mirra. In 2013, the design received a significant update with dematerialization as a key focus making the chair 30 percent lighter than the original, marked by the name change to Mirra 2. Herman Miller is now incorporating more recycled content into the design, lowering the chair's overall carbon footprint by up to 17 percent1 compared to the previous version of Mirra 2. The nylon base and spine are now made from 100 percent recycled material.
自引入以來,Mirra 2一直在成爲赫曼密勒最具可持續性的性能座椅設計路線上。在21世紀初,赫曼密勒與MBDC全球環境專家合作,MBDC是Cradle to Cradle認證計劃的創始人——這是產品安全、循環和負責任生產的全球標準——以建立「環境設計」協議,幫助指導原始Mirra的發展。2013年,該設計經過重大升級,以減少物質爲重點,使椅子比原始版本輕30%,並更名爲Mirra 2。赫曼密勒現在正在設計中納入更多的回收材料,將椅子的整體碳足跡降低了高達17%,與Mirra 2先前版本相比。尼龍基座和脊椎現在均採用100%回收材料製成
The expected reduction in the carbon footprint of the updated Mirra 2 portfolio2 is equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from driving 4.7 million miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle or the amount of energy needed to charge 121 million fully depleted smartphones and maintain that full charge throughout the day.3
更新後的Mirra 2產品系列的預期碳足跡減少相當於駕駛平均汽油動力乘用車行駛470萬英里的溫室氣體排放量,或者相當於充電12100萬部完全耗盡電量的智能手機所需的能源,並在全天保持滿電。
Named for the way it mirrors the body's movements, Mirra 2 balances immediate comfort and personalized ergonomics through dynamic surfaces that respond to the slightest movement and intuitive adjustments to fine-tune fit. An advanced suite of performance technology continues to differentiate Mirra 2's ergonomic design:
以人體運動方式反映的名稱Mirra 2通過動態表面平衡即時舒適和個性化人體工程學,以響應最微小的運動並提供直觀調整,以微調合適度。一套先進的性能技術繼續區分Mirra 2的人體工程設計:
- AireWeave Suspension seat and FlexFront respond to the slightest movement and are temperature neutral, ensuring no heat build-up
- Loop Spine allows individuals to move naturally, providing torsional flex to stretch and reach while seated
- PostureFit patented sacral support supports the spine at its lowest point and prevents slouching
- Harmonic 2 Tilt offers the optimal balance point to maintain control of movement throughout the range of recline
- Available in two back styles, Mirra 2 works in a variety of applications. The ultra-responsive Butterfly Back is a dynamic structure of fabric-covered polymer veins. The size, shape, and pattern of the fabric's openings create zones of support that eliminate pressure points. The TriFlex polymer-only back option includes three main ergonomic zones, while meeting more rigorous commercial protocols by excluding the fabric layer.
- AireWeave懸浮座椅和FlexFront可對最微小的移動作出響應,溫度中立,確保不會有熱量積聚
- Loop Spine允許個人自然移動,提供扭轉彈性以拉伸和達到坐姿
- PostureFit專利的骶部支撐支撐脊椎的最低點,防止無精打采
- 諧波2傾斜提供了最佳平衡點,以在整個後傾區間內保持對運動的控制
- Mirra 2有兩種背部風格可供選擇。超靈敏的蝴蝶背部是由覆蓋在聚合物靜脈上的動態結構組成的。面料開口的尺寸、形狀和圖案創造了支撐區域,消除了壓力點。TriFlex僅聚合物背部選項包括三個主要的人體工學區域,同時通過排除面料層滿足更嚴格的商業協議。
A fresh color palette brings new cordovan, ultramarine, olive, ochre, and alpine hues. Statement styling options include bold color blocking that allows customers to mix and match a select number of components and an application where a neutral base is punctuated with a hit of color. With two base choices of alpine or graphite, monochromatic styles are also available.
新的色彩調色板帶來了新的cordovan、ultramarine、olive、ochre和alpine色調。突出的造型選項包括大膽的色塊,允許客戶混搭選定數量的元件,並採用中立基地襯托出色彩的亮點。有alpine或石墨兩種基座選擇,也提供單色風格。
Since Mirra Chair was first imagined, Carola Zwick, Burkhard Schmitz, and Roland Zwick of Berlin-based Studio 7.5 have evaluated and updated the design twice. "For us improving a design concept continuously is one of the best strategies for creating longevity. In this case it was finding alternative materials with a lower carbon footprint. Taking the effort of improving an existing product concept instead of creating a new product is signaling that the original concept is still valid and reassuring existing Mirra users, that they have a great chair. We think slowing down and resisting the 'new' new is an important aspect of sustainability we as designers can tackle."
自Mirra椅子首次想象以來,總部位於柏林的Studio 7.5的Carola Zwick、Burkhard Schmitz和Roland Zwick已經兩次評估並更新了設計。「對我們來說,不斷改進設計概念是創造長久性的最佳策略之一。在這種情況下,找到了碳足跡更低的替代材料。花費精力改進現有產品概念,而不是創造新產品,是在表明原始概念仍然有效,並在向現有Mirra用戶保證他們擁有一把出色的椅子。我們認爲緩慢下來,抵制「新的新」是我們作爲設計師可以應對的可持續性的重要一環。」
"Sustainable design has guided the Herman Miller brand for decades," says Gabe Wing, Vice President of Sustainability at MillerKnoll. "In partnership with Studio 7.5, our research shows a greater need for chairs like Mirra 2––minimal adjustments to provide instant comfort make it optimal for shared spaces. The opportunity to increase recycled content and performance while making an important carbon footprint reduction sets a new standard for the future of ergonomics and beyond."
「幾十年來,可持續設計一直引導着Herman Miller品牌的發展,」MillerKnoll的可持續總監Gabe Wing表示。「與Studio 7.5合作,我們的研究顯示出,Mirra 2這樣的椅子有着更大的需求——最小的調整即可提供即時舒適,使其成爲共享空間的最佳選擇。增加回收材料和性能的機會同時減少碳足跡,爲人體工程學的未來樹立了新標準,邁向更廣泛的領域。」
Herman Miller and Studio 7.5 continue to partner on updates to their roster of award-winning seating collaborations. In addition to Mirra 2, this includes Setu, Zeph, and Cosm. Setu was recently updated, evolving the suspension material to Intercept, which is used on Cosm Chair, a new bumper for increased durability, and adding new colorways. Setu is also designed with sustainability as a key component—the multipurpose chair is only 18 pounds, up to 90 percent of which can be recycled (subject to availability of appropriate recycling facilities), and includes over 50 percent recycled content.
Herman Miller和Studio 7.5繼續合作,更新了一系列屢獲殊榮的座椅合作伙伴關係。除了Mirra 2,還包括Setu、Zeph和Cosm。Setu最近進行了更新,將懸掛材料升級爲Intercept,該材料用於Cosm椅子的特斯拉-保險槓,以增加耐用性,並增加新的色彩選擇。Setu還以可持續性作爲關鍵元素進行設計-這款多功能椅子僅重18磅,其中高達90%可以回收利用(取決於適當的回收設施的可用性),幷包含超過50%的回收材料。
