Loop Spine and Harmonic 2 Tilt
Designed for Constant Motion
The Mirra 2 was designed by Studio 7.5 in Berlin for people who never sit still. Its Loop Spine connects to the chair at only two points, so the back flexes torsionally and moves with you as you stretch and reach sideways instead of holding you square to the desk.
The Harmonic 2 tilt is built around the body's natural pivot points, so the chair moves in tandem with you through a range of postures rather than tipping you back in one plane. The Mirra was first introduced in 2003; the Mirra 2 that replaced it is 30% lighter than the original.
The Details
Five Things That Make It a Mirra 2 in Graphite
Designed by Studio 7.5 in Berlin for people who never sit still. This is the Mirra 2 in Graphite with the Butterfly Suspension back and every adjustment fitted: adjustable lumbar, FlexFront seat depth, fully adjustable 4D arms and the tilt limiter with seat angle.
Loop Spine
The Loop Spine connects to the chair at only two points, so the back flexes torsionally and moves with you as you stretch and reach sideways instead of holding you square to the desk.
Butterfly Suspension Back
A fabric-and-polymer backrest with a self-contouring membrane mapped to the body's anatomy. The zones of support come from the size, shape and pattern of the perforations, so the upper back can flex while the lumbar region holds firm. Underneath, PostureFit supports the sacrum and braces the pelvis, and the adjustable lumbar option is fitted on this model.
Harmonic 2 Tilt
The tilt is built around the body's natural pivot points, so the chair moves in tandem with you through a range of postures rather than tipping you back in one plane. The tilt limiter caps the recline and the seat-angle adjustment tips the seat forward for focused work.
AireWeave Seat and FlexFront
The AireWeave suspension seat conforms to your shape and spreads your weight without foam, so heat does not build up under you. The FlexFront edge adjusts the seat depth from 41 to 46 cm so shorter and taller people can both sit properly supported.
One Size, Adjusted to You
Herman Miller designs the Mirra 2 for the 5th to 95th percentile of adults in a single size, rated for users up to 159 kg. Fully adjustable 4D arms move for height, width, depth and pivot, and the chair is delivered fully assembled.

This chair is a genuine Herman Miller product supplied as an international parallel import, so the warranty on it is provided by Chair Dinkum in Sydney rather than by Herman Miller — see our warranty page.
Harmonic 2, AireWeave and FlexFront
Tilt, Seat and Depth
Lean back and the Harmonic 2 tilt meets your weight progressively; the tilt limiter lets you cap the recline, and the seat-angle adjustment tips the seat forward for focused work. Set it once and the chair follows you between upright typing and a laid-back call.
The AireWeave suspension seat conforms to your shape and spreads your weight without foam, so heat does not build up under you, and the FlexFront edge adjusts the seat depth from 41 to 46 cm so shorter and taller people can both sit properly supported.

Configuration
This Model, Fully Loaded
We stock the Mirra 2 in Graphite with the Butterfly Suspension back and every adjustment fitted: adjustable lumbar, FlexFront seat depth, fully adjustable 4D arms and the tilt limiter with seat angle. It is the configuration most buyers end up specifying once they have sat in the basic one.
It is a genuine Herman Miller product, brand new, supplied as an international parallel import. That describes the supply route, not the chair: the cover on it is our own Chair Dinkum warranty (12 months included, with an optional 12-year Extended Warranty), handled in Sydney, rather than Herman Miller's.
Why We Stock It
We stock the Mirra 2 because it is the Herman Miller chair we can recommend to almost anyone without a fitting. One size covers the 5th to 95th percentile, the seat depth adjusts, and it is rated for 159 kg, so it works for shared desks as well as a single owner.
Both the Mirra 2 and the Aeron are on the floor at our Pyrmont showroom. If you are deciding between them, or between Butterfly and TriFlex backs, call 02 9640 0642 and we will talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both are Herman Miller task chairs, and they suit different people. The Mirra 2 comes in one size, has a Loop Spine that flexes as you twist and reach, and a FlexFront seat that adjusts in depth from 41 to 46 cm, which the Aeron does not offer. The Aeron comes in three sizes with 8Z Pellicle mesh and PostureFit SL, and suits people who want a precise fit they set once. If you shift position all day and want one chair that fits most bodies, choose the Mirra 2. Our Mirra 2 review sets the two side by side.
Yes. It is a genuine, brand-new Herman Miller Mirra 2, supplied as an international parallel import, which describes the supply route rather than the product. Because it is sourced outside Herman Miller's authorised Australian channel, serial registration with Herman Miller is not available and Herman Miller's own warranty does not apply. The cover on it is our own Chair Dinkum warranty (12 months included, with an optional 12-year Extended Warranty), handled here in Sydney; full terms are on our warranty page. Your Australian Consumer Law rights apply regardless of the option you choose.
A 12-month Chair Dinkum warranty is included, covering the whole chair against defects in materials and workmanship. When you buy, you can add the optional 12-year Chair Dinkum Extended Warranty for $200: 12 years on the frame, base, tilt mechanism, gas lift and structural arm components, and 5 years on the mesh or suspension, upholstery, foam, arm pads and castors. Both apply to single-shift use of up to 8 hours a day. For an approved claim we supply the covered replacement part and deliver it to you free of charge. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply regardless of the option you choose. Full terms are on our warranty page.
Herman Miller designs the Mirra 2 for the 5th to 95th percentile of adults in a single size, rated for users up to 159 kg (350 lb). On the standard cylinder the seat runs from 41 to 52 cm high, and the FlexFront seat adjusts in depth from 41 to 46 cm, so shorter and taller people can both get their feet flat and their knees clear of the seat edge. The chair weighs 19 kg, about 23 kg boxed, which matters if it is going up stairs. You are welcome to sit in one at our Pyrmont showroom; call 02 9640 0642 first so we have one on the floor.
The Butterfly Suspension back is a fabric-and-polymer backrest with a suspension membrane that contours to your spine. The TriFlex back is polymer only, with the same zones of support created by the size, shape and pattern of its perforations, and a slightly firmer feel. Both breathe and both flex with you. This listing is the Butterfly Suspension back in Graphite.
It arrives fully assembled in protective packaging: open the box, place it at your desk and sit down. Set seat height first so your feet are flat, then seat depth so two or three fingers fit between the seat edge and the back of your knee, then arm height so your shoulders are relaxed. If you are choosing between the Mirra 2 and another chair, call 02 9640 0642 and we will talk it through.
