Logitech G announced a new partnership with Herman Miller this week to create new high-performance furniture geared towards gamers with the hopes of reaching “advanced solutions” for their needs. The two companies will use their respective expertise in technology and comfort to research and build furniture that’s intended to be used by those involved with esports, streaming, or even those who just spend a lot of time playing games otherwise. Multiple furniture products are expected to result from the partnership, and the first of these will be a new gaming chair which is scheduled to launch some time in Spring 2020.

The companies announced their partnership on Wednesday by laying out the goals they hope to achieve together and setting the release window for the first product releasing within the next couple of months. Both Logitech G and Herman Miller will be working with esports organizations such as Complexity Gaming, TSM, and NaVi among others to help discern what the gaming furniture should look and feel like.
Herman Miller said on the furniture company’s landing page for the collaboration that it’s “spent more than 100 years perfecting the science of sitting” and is now ready to channel that experience into gaming solutions.
