Furniture brand Herman Miller Gaming has worked together with Brooklyn-based media art studio Faile on new variations of the Embody Gaming Chairs. It is also part of a larger collection in the Faile and Deluxx Fluxx for Herman Miller Gaming collection. 12 chairs make up the capsule and it is also featured with prints and collectible wooden sculptures -- all of these are detailed with bright and graphic characters and designs.
The two share, "With gaming culture, there's so much about colour and fantasy and the experience of these wild things coming to life. We felt that was not yet celebrated through the Embody Gaming Chair. We saw this as an opportunity to bring that to life and showcase the chair not only as a design object but also as an art object."
