The Want: A sturdy, striking, and ergonomically sound desk chair for stay-at-home workdays and unavoidable weekend crunches.
The Get: The Sayl work chair is one of the latest innovations from Herman Miller, the Michigan-based Ferrari of work furniture. The result of a partnership with San Francisco-based designer Yves Béhar and his firm, Fuseproject (which used the Golden Gate Bridge as inspiration), the chair utilizes a frameless, Y-shaped, full-suspension seatback for easy adjustment, high performance, and ideal lumbar support. The Sayl’s lightweight, cutting-edge design is sure to invigorate and modernize any home office. ($399, hermanmiller.com)
