This chair is the result of a collaboration between ergonomics brand Herman Miller and gaming brand Logitech.

You probably know Logitech but maybe not Herman Miller, they are a luxury chair brand known for their ergonomic designs. While these types of chairs are super expensive, they are a great investment for people like Shroud who sit in front of their PC for many hours in a day.

(though since he’s known for his partnerships with Logitech, he probably didn’t buy this chair himself)

This Herman Miller chair comes with cooling foam technology, a patented posture fit design, a backrest that adjusts to your spine’s unique shape (hello future), and other fancy features designed for extended gaming sessions.

Now if only I had the money to buy this thing (Logitech, if you’re reading this sponsor me).
