NEWARK, Calif. and
ZEELAND, Mich., Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Logitech G, a brand
of Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI) and Herman
Miller (NASDAQ: MLHR), today announced an exclusive
partnership to research, design, and manufacture the next
generation high-performance furniture solutions for gamers. Both
companies bring years of design and engineering expertise in their
respective fields, and combined will address the needs of esports
athletes, gamers, and streamers.
"At Herman Miller, we have a rich history of designing solutions
to support people wherever they live and work," said Tim Straker, Herman
Miller's Chief Marketing Officer. "We're excited to combine
our ergonomic, research-driven approach with Logitech G's
excellence in technology and innovation. Together, we'll develop
high-quality solutions that provide gamers and esports athletes
with the utmost support and comfort."
Like traditional sports, esports athletes and professional
streamers need the right gear to perform at their best for long
periods of time. In addition to long-term health concerns, esports
athletes may also experience a loss of focus and a decline in
overall performance due to discomfort. The solutions on the market
today are not addressing these concerns—in fact, many of the
products on the market today focus primarily on aesthetics, rather
than research-proven ergonomic design, and can cause more harm than
good.
"Logitech G is committed to creating the best gear for gamers.
We make that possible through a unique collaboration process
between our design and engineering teams, partners and our
customers to translate needs and capabilities into products that
gamers love," said Peter Kingsley,
Chief Marketing Officer at Logitech G. "Herman Miller was the obvious choice for us to
partner with given their more than 100 years of expertise. Together
we will deliver amazing products with advanced ergonomics, comfort
and performance that gamers deserve."
Logitech G and Herman Miller will
analyze and incorporate the feedback from esports teams with which
they have relationships, including Complexity Gaming, TSM, NaVi and
others, into products that address their needs and concerns. The
first product of this partnership will be a gaming chair, set to
launch in the spring of 2020.
