The Mirra 2 combines ergonomics and sustainability
Redesigned by Berlin-based Studio 7.5, the Mirra 2 chair from Herman Miller represents the perfect combination of function and innovation.
The sleek, minimal design represents the Swiss desire for exactitude and precision, bringing harmonious clean edges together via multiple planar volumes. Vertical elements are balances with strong horizontals, and reveals along the intersection of wall and floor add a sense of weightlessness to the already seemingly floating design. Rich, natural materials such as leather, wood and copper add a sense of depth to the light-hearted forms.
Eggleston's use of this metal represents the role copper has played as a form of currency throughout the ages, its importance to Geneva's great wealth, and as a nod to fantasies of a clandestine alpine bunker. Copper is used modestly and practically here, accented by discrete textural details of cork, sisal and wood. Central to the store's design is a large, angled copper sink inspired by the 1970s lustre of a Citroen CX, which folds itself into the consultation counter and demonstration area. The project is finished with Alfredo Häberli's DS-480 lounge chair, upholstered in tan leather.
