A prime example of Gordon Composites technology in the commercial market is the Mirra office chair by Herman Miller, Inc.

Designed in cooperation with Studio 7.5, a German design firm, the innovative Mirra office chair incorporates many state-of-the-art features including advanced spring technology enabled by laminates from Gordon Composites.

The Mirra chair has a harmonic tilt that creates pivot points at the hip, knee and ankle to allow easy and natural movement. As a result of the advanced spring technology, users of all sizes feel equal resistance while moving anywhere in the wide tilt range; the sitter is always in control.

Important benefits of the composite spring include durability and fatigue resistance. The spring can withstand millions of cycles with virtually no loss of recovery. This means the chair’s user can lean back time after time and day after day without feeling any change in resistance.

Other applications in the commercial market include:

• Aircraft components
• Prostheses
• Radio antennas
• Transportation parts and equipment
