Story
Shaped by the world around it
Herman Miller's design story says the Berlin-based Studio 7.5 let the changing world shape Setu instead of starting from an idea and fitting it to the world. The designers estimate they built upwards of 35 fully functional prototypes in-house before sharing the concept with Herman Miller.
Revisited with colour
With experience from Cosm and Zeph, Studio 7.5 revisited Setu and applied Cosm's dipped-in-color idea, and the warmer tones of Zeph's palette led to Cocoa on Setu's newer suspension.
