Summary

Herman Miller and Logitech G have collaborated on a new gaming chair, the Vantum, priced at $995 USD, which aims to blend the premium quality of Herman Miller with ergonomic design elements suitable for gamers.

Abstract

The article discusses the latest gaming chair collaboration between Herman Miller and Logitech G, known as the Vantum. Priced at 995 USD, this chair is positioned as more affordable than their previous Embody Gaming Chair, which was 1,795 USD.

It is available in three color options and is designed to suit both office and gaming environments. The author opines that despite the high price, the chair's quality and the reputation of Herman Miller may justify the cost for serious gamers.

Check Out This New Gaming Chair Herman Miller Created in Collaboration with Logitech G

Expensive for a gaming chair, but cheap for a Herman Miller.

Herman Miller and Logitech G have previously collaborated on a gaming chair in the past. It was called the Embody Gaming Chair and was priced at $1,795 USD.

But now, the two have just dropped their newest creation, the Vantum Gaming Chair, which is a little more affordable but still expensive.

Herman Miller is well known for making high-end desk chairs with extremely high quality, which is why Embody’s price tag wasn't a surprise. But their newest chair, the Vantum, is priced at $995 USD, which in my opinion, is a fair price for a premium Herman Miller chair.

Herman Miller and Logitech’s recent collaboration was undertaken with affordability and customization in mind after their previous collaboration was such a success. Here’s what the Vantum offers:

  • Proprietary suspension backrest
  • Glass-filled nylon skeleton
  • Foam headrests and cushions
  • Covered with post-consumer recycled polyester

In addition, the Vantum has the following color options:

  • Black/Obsidian (Full black)
  • Black/Polar (Black and white)
  • Black/Flare (black and red)

Generally, gaming chairs usually look like they belong in a race car, much like the one I own. Whereas Herman Miller chairs generally look more professional and minimalistic.

But neither of these is the case for the Vantum. It’s kind of a mix between the two, with a very clean and minimalistic overall design with a splash of color and a few ergonomic design elements. It will easily blend in, whether it's placed in a traditional office or gaming setup.

The Vantum was designed with gamers in mind, which is why it offers seating positions more suited for gamers, such as a leaned forward position. Although there are a few other seating positions, such as a reclining position.

Although I have to say, $995 USD is a bit much, in my opinion, for a gaming chair, when you put into consideration that it was also made by one of the world's most established desk chair manufacturers, I believe it may be worth it.

Writing and Editing Update

Recently, I wrote about my stats on Medium. While my gaming article receives great views from external sources, they get very few views from Medium members.

Here is the story if you are interested in my thoughts and feelings as a writer on Medium.

I also put a few links that might have new writers to gain followers and learn from the experiences of other writers. I wish you the best in your writing career.

Top writer badges might be valuable for new writers in some topics, even though gaming and social media did not bring me, new readers. I posted a video using the ideas of Dr. Yildiz and hope new writers can learn from this video or related article.

I enjoy posting a story each day. I will continue by posting one each day this month. Please feel free to join this writing challenge. I’d love to read your stories on this initiative.
