Herman Miller made its first step into the esports world last November through a partnership with Complexity Gaming. The furniture company is the title sponsor of the organisation’s innovation lab at its GameStop Performance Center headquarters in Frisco, Texas, which is outfitted with the company’s chairs and other products.

Peter Kingsley, Chief Marketing Officer at Logitech G, added: “Logitech G is committed to creating the best gear for gamers. We make that possible through a unique collaboration process between our design and engineering teams, partners and our customers to translate needs and capabilities into products that gamers love. Herman Miller was the obvious choice for us to partner with given their more than 100 years of expertise. Together we will deliver amazing products with advanced ergonomics, comfort and performance that gamers deserve.”

Esports Insider says: Herman Miller is a highly-respected, premium furniture brand, and this kind of collaboration could help raise the bar for gaming chairs and other related furniture in the esports industry. We’re intrigued to see exactly what a Herman Miller gaming chair looks like!
