Portable seating
Caper Stacking Chair is Jeff Weber's lightweight chair for casual, short-term seating. Herman Miller states that the armless version with a moulded seat weighs 9.5 lb, stacks six high on the floor, and stacks 15 high on a Caper Cart. Optional ganging connectors join chairs in rows.
Seat and back
The moulded seat and back use glass-filled nylon, with contours for comfort and flexibility for give. Perforations release heat and moisture. An optional FLEXNET suspension seat is offered as an alternative to the moulded seat.
Story
