Herman Miller Mirra 1
With a refurbished Mirra 1 office chair from Herman Miller, you’re bringing the original 2003 model into your home at a significantly lower price than buying it new. At Offeco, this means: checked by our technicians, worn parts replaced, thoroughly cleaned and dispatched with a warranty.
Herman Miller now only stocks the Mirra 2 in its range, so you can no longer buy the first generation new. If this is the model you want, a refurbished one is your only option. In return, you’ll get a chair designed to withstand intensive use.

How to recognise the original Mirra 1
The Mirra 1 office chair by Herman Miller stands out thanks to its backrest: a flexible material that moulds to the shape of your back without you having to adjust anything. This material is breathable, so you’ll remain comfortable even on a hot afternoon.
You can also adjust the backrest, seat height and seat depth yourself. Depending on the model, the armrests are either height-adjustable or fixed. An ergonomic office chair like this can help reduce discomfort in your neck, back or shoulders if you spend long days at a desk.
The Herman Miller Mirra 1 office chair also feels heavier and sturdier than its successor, with a distinctive shape that you’ll recognise immediately in an office setting.
Why you’ll only find the Herman Miller Mirra 1 as a refurbished item
Any remaining stock comes from businesses that are updating their office furnishings. The other Herman Miller office chairs at Offeco arrive in the same way: individually, from business trade-ins.
As a result, the range remains small and changes regularly. If a particular model is listed online, that is the one that has just come in.
What our technicians check on a Mirra 1 office chair
With a chair of this age, the overhaul determines what you’re getting. Our technicians therefore start with the moving parts:
We test the gas spring for pressure, to ensure the seat height stays where you set it.
We check the tilt mechanism for smoothness and spring tension.
We replace any worn castors.
We replace any worn upholstery on the armrests.
The backrest must spring back fully; otherwise, the chair will not pass inspection.
We replace worn parts with new, original components. The chair itself remains an original Herman Miller. We then clean it thoroughly.
The Herman Miller Mirra 1 versus the Mirra 2
The second generation is 30 per cent lighter and has sleeker lines, with a backrest that is attached to the chair at two points. As a result, a Herman Miller Mirra 2 flexes as you reach out to the side.
The Mirra 1, on the other hand, offers a firmer seating experience. It also retains the design as originally conceived by Studio 7.5. If you’re looking for stability rather than the lightest frame, the first generation is the right choice for you.
