Herman Miller's Award Winning SAYL Chair Makes NeoCon Debut
June 10, 2011  The Herman Miller SAYL task and guest chairs make
their first NeoCon appearance at the Merchandise Mart in
Chicago, June 13-15 2011. First released in the fall of 2010,
SAYL's unique design and Eco-Dematerialised approach have helped
it achieve MBDC Cradle-to-Cradle Silver, BIFMA level 2 and
GREENGUARD certifications, as well as recognition as the Product
Design of the Year in the 2010 International Design Awards
(IDA).  SAYL Chairs product page  Designed by Yves Béhar,
founder of fuseproject, SAYL was inspired by his observations of

principles that are used to suspend a bridge over water be
applied to a chair? His goal was to enable an unprecedented
sense of freedom for the sitter in a design that delivers the
most comfort with the least materials.  Béhar
