Story
Students who did not sit traditionally
Herman Miller's page says Brian Kane watched students at the California College of Art perch on arms, curl up and sprawl out, and that this observation inspired the Swoop family.

Freedom to move around
Kane says he did not want to create just another lounge chair; with traditional lounge seating, in his words, people are locked into it, and Swoop provides freedom to move around.
