Diane Turnwall, VP of Global Seating at Herman Miller also commented: “At Herman Miller we have a robust history of ergonomic research and human-centered design, which we’re excited to apply to the esports community. As our first foray into esports, we are applying our research capabilities in the Herman Miller Innovation Lab to study alongside some of the best players and trainers in the industry to understand how our designs can address the points of struggle. The partnership is not only mutually beneficial to our respective companies but also casts wide-bearing advantages for gamers around the world.”

Complexity Gaming is also partnered with the likes of Limit, Extra Life, U.S. Army, GameStop, MillerCoors, HyperX, MSI, Panini, WinStar World Casino, H4X, and Twitch.

Esports Insider says: We knew something like this was coming when Lake started being vocal against the use of the typical gaming chairs utilised in esports. Complexity Gaming has done a great job at not only bringing in solid partners, but integrating them well into its headquarters. We’re simply glad to see players’ health being prioritised.
