Limerick Chair von Herman Miller

The Limerick chair brings comfort to low-cost, stackable seating. It's lightweight and flexible, roomy and supportive. And all parts are 100 percent recyclable.

A Stacking Chair Solution
Stacks high for flexible, space-efficient use in cafeterias, classrooms, and meeting areas.

Hard Working
Stacking up. 10 high on the floor or 36 high on the specially designed cart.
Lightweight. Easy to move and stack.
Ganging glides. Chairs can be linked to create rows of seating for classrooms or auditoriums.

Comfortable Design
Generous size. The seat and back are high and wide so the chair fits a large range of people.
Curved, flexible back. Provides lumbar support and moves subtly with the sitter; an opening increases ventilation and makes the chair easy to carry.
Double-front crossbars. Raised out of the way of ankles.

Colorful Aesthetics
Slender profile. Blends with a variety of office environments.
Fun colors. Shells are available in 10 colors, frames in 4 colors.

Design Story
Designing the Limerick chair allowed Tom Newhouse to exercise two of his passions: the study of emerging office issues and the implementation of socially conscious, green design concepts.
He observed that office workers are increasingly using temporary seating, so he made Limerick chairs light, stackable, and easy to move. At the same time, Newhouse added the unexpected. He applied his industrial design expertise to make Limerick highly ergonomic, a feature not always provided in side chairs.
Limerick is also 100 recyclable. Newhouse is committed to designing products and utilizing manufacturing technologies that place the highest priority on preserving the environment. "I have been passionate on this issue for many years," he says, "and that's one reason why I love to work with Herman Miller."
