Details

The Caper was designed by Jeff Weber for Herman Miller in 1999 and won a NeoCon Gold Award for seating. It was built to give real comfort at an affordable price: a perforated, contoured back that flexes with you and lets heat escape, on a light tubular steel frame you can move with one hand using the cut-out handle.

This one has the black Flexnet suspension seat, which spreads your weight and reduces pressure points, fixed arms and castors, on a silver frame. Caper stacking chairs stack up to six high on the floor.

Condition
Pre-owned, with some signs of use on the arms and castors. See photos. Made in the USA in 2015.

Ideal for

Design Story

Herman Miller is one of the most influential furniture manufacturers of the 20th and 21st centuries, known for shaping modern design as much as filling offices and homes.

Founded in 1905 in Michigan as a traditional furniture company, it transformed in the 1930s under the leadership of D.J. De Pree. Instead of playing it safe with conventional styles, the company leaned into modernism, collaborating with visionary designers who would go on to define an era.

The turning point came through partnerships with figures like Charles Eames and Ray Eames, whose molded plywood and fiberglass chairs became icons of mid century design. George Nelson, the company’s design director, helped establish a cohesive and forward thinking identity, bringing in talents like Isamu Noguchi.

Over time, Herman Miller built a reputation for blending aesthetics with function. That philosophy carried into the late 20th century with innovations like the Aeron Chair, which redefined office seating and became a symbol of early tech culture.

Today, Herman Miller remains a global design leader, balancing heritage with innovation. Its pieces are not just furniture, they’re cultural artifacts that quietly signal taste, whether in a Silicon Valley office or a carefully curated living room.
