A unique collaboration
Designed to meet the need for a high-performance ergonomic executive chair, Taper was the result of a collaboration between designer Mark Goetz—whose credits include the Goetz Sofa and Full Twist Chair—with Herman Miller seating innovator and PostureFit inventor Dr. Brock Walker, a former competitive skier who’s a specialist in design for human performance.
Design across disciplines
This unique collaboration resulted in a clean, simple executive chair that balances a rigorous scientific approach for supporting the human body with impeccable execution and a clean, simple silhouette.

“I wanted to design an incredibly comfortable chair that gives you the personal fit of a custom-tailored suit, the support of the finest ergonomic chair, and the quality feel of a high-performance automobile seat.”
