Their designs emphasize user well-being, comfort, and performance, integrating scientific research with innovative engineering to create furniture that enhances both physical and cognitive health.

Bill Stumpf was an influential industrial designer whose work focused on human-centered design and ergonomic innovation. He played a key role in reshaping modern office furniture, co-designing iconic chairs such as the Aeron Chair and Ergon Chair for Herman Miller. His designs were deeply rooted in research on biomechanics and the human body, aiming to improve workplace efficiency while prioritizing comfort. Stumpf’s philosophy revolved around the idea that well-designed objects should foster both functionality and joy, making everyday experiences more intuitive and comfortable.

Jeff Weber, an industrial designer with a background in product design and engineering, worked closely with Stumpf to further explore the relationship between the human body and furniture. Weber’s expertise in biomechanics and material innovation contributed to the development of the Embody Chair, a revolutionary office chair designed to promote movement and reduce fatigue during long hours of sitting. His approach blends technical precision with a deep understanding of how design affects human well-being.
