Cutting edge ergonomics with an executive aesthetic

Taper Chair

Mark Goetz designed Taper in direct collaboration with Dr. Brock Walker, longtime seating advisor to Herman Miller. That partnership brought ergonomic depth to a design that still looks like a premium executive chair rather than a high-tech sitting machine. The performance is embedded in the form, not announced by it.

Starting at $2,919 USD

design story

Mark Goetz recognized a gap in executive seating. C-suite spaces need chairs that offer strong ergonomics, not just chairs that make a strong visual impact. He partnered with Dr. Brock Walker, a chiropractor, to ensure that Taper Chairs offer both.

Taper Chair

Contoured support

The complex contouring of Taper’s backrest focuses support for the base of the spine to help prevent slouching.

Suspension seat

Beneath the upholstered seat is a dynamically responsive system for improving comfort and circulation.

Taper Chair

Balanced recline

Taper's tilt mechanism uses a pair of carbon fiber leaf springs to control resistance for a balanced recline.

Considered proportions

With a slender profile and balanced scale, Taper is visually clean, with every stitch exactly where it needs to be.
