Furniture brand Herman Miller Gaming has collaborated with Brooklyn multimedia art studio Faile on 12 "interpretations" of the brand's Embody Gaming Chairs, which will be "inducted" into its archives after a New York exhibition.
The 12 chairs are part of a larger collection in the Faile and Deluxx Fluxx for Herman Miller Gaming collaboration, which also includes prints and collectible wooden sculptures that feature bright, graphic characters and designs.

The collection's pop-art and collage-style graphics were informed by Faile's Deluxx Fluxx art installation concept that was later adapted into nightclubs in Detroit and New York City. The spaces are covered in artwork and objects by Faile, including retro pinball machines and neon dance floors. Lead by founders Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, Faile covered 12 Herman Miller Gaming chairs in the studio's distinct art style, which features characters such as animals, robots and pin-up style women on the chairs' seat cushions.

The studio also coloured the chair's frame and exposed structure on its back, rendering the parts in bright blues, yellows, greens, pinks and ombre shades.
McNeil and Miller treated the chairs as "art objects".
