Herman Miller Caper Multipurpose Chair

Product Story

The Caper Multipurpose Chair—with swivel, tilt, and height adjustment—is made for instances that require a casual yet comfortable place to sit. Working at a desk, gliding over to meet with a colleague, reclining in thought: Caper Multipurpose Chairs support all of these activities and more.

Performance

Caper's polypropylene seat and back are contoured for comfort, flexible for give, and colorful enough to brighten up any room. Holes in the material allow your body to breathe, so moisture and heat dissipate, so you remain cool. An optional FLEXNET seat uses advanced suspension materials to minimize pressure points, which keeps you comfortable as you sit.

Design

Jeff Weber designed the Caper family of seating to accommodate a diversity of people, and, just as important, the variety of spaces where they use them and tasks that they do.

Color Choices

As stylish as they are versatile, Caper chairs and stools are available in a palette of fresh, lively colors. Sophisticated neutrals complement, while vibrant primary colors bring energy.

Family

The Caper family of agile, stylish seating includes multipurpose chairs and stools, stacking chairs and stools, as well as the Caper Stacking Chair with Tablet Arm. Mix and match chairs and stools to add practical function and a pop of color to any space.

Design Story Caper chairs and stools were designed by Jeff Weber of Studio Weber + Associates. His goal, and ours, was to create comfortable, mobile seating that's also affordable. "Too much good design seems expensive," Weber says, "I wanted to break that cliché." Weber believes that design is "the connective tissue" between people and the environment, and that the quality of that design—whether of a building or a chair—has a profound effect on quality of life. Caper seating, he says, achieves its high level of performance and comfort by "using standard materials in novel ways."
