Description
Overview
Chadwick Modular Seating is Don Chadwick's five-unit lounge system, designed in 1974 and later updated with a contemporary seat height and optional power. Units can work alone or connect into larger arrangements.
Construction
Each molded unit is upholstered on its front, back, and sides. Pockets behind the back support ventilation and cleaning, while simple connectors secure an arrangement and release it for reconfiguration.
Specifications
- Five unit shapes
- Straight, 22.5-degree inside and outside wedge, and 30-degree inside and outside wedge units
- Fully upholstered exposed surfaces
Story
A modular idea from 1974
Don Chadwick designed the system around variety produced from a very small set of parts. Herman Miller's current edition retains that premise while adapting the seat height and adding the capacity to carry power.
Independent on every side
Because every visible face is upholstered, a module may stand at an end, sit between other units, or be used alone without exposing an unfinished surface.
