Make everyday tech work for you and your household
Smart tools and ideas designed to support learning, comfort and creativity for families and beyond
From better seating to smarter learning apps, these tech picks are built to make daily life easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable for everyone.
Sit your best in an ergonomic chair
Sitting might be second nature to you, but the chair you choose shapes far more than you think –from posture and comfort to focus and energy. Herman Miller has spent decades rethinking how we sit, designing high-performance chairs that respond to the body rather than forcing the body to adapt. Engineered to facilitate movement, alignment and long-term comfort, each chair is built to support different ways of working – whether that’s homework, family admin or desk tasks.
The brand’s approach to ergonomics dates from 1976, when it introduced the world’s first ergonomic work chair, setting a new benchmark for comfort and support. The result is seating designed to move with you, whatever your day looks like.
