JAT Holdings set up over 20 years ago with the primary objective of providing only the best brands to the furnishing and finishing industry in the sub continent, invited prospective customers to their classy Herman Miller showroom on Havelock Road in Colombo to experience the range of designer products first hand.

Herman Miller is globally synonymous for classic and modern furniture. The company designs products that have become instant classics, and today, Herman Miller is recognised as an innovator in contemporary interior furnishings, solutions for healthcare environments, and related technologies and services. Chairs for the workplace have been designed with a focus on ergonomics to benefit both employee and employer. The healthful seating options benefit the employer twofold, with reduced employee downtime due to spinal/lumbar discomfort and increased employee productivity. For people increasingly seduced by computer technology – and the sedentary positions it encourages – seating solutions such as the Embody work chair benefits the heart due to its ability to reduce heart rate which in turn improves productivity and helps improve the user’s health.

The robust Herman Miller range of work chairs and work-stations are underlined by an unmatched 3-shift 12 year warranty; 3-shift meaning the product could be used 24 hours and still enjoy a 12 year warranty! The iconic Eames Lounge and Ottoman lead the designer collection of Herman Miller, which has been available since 1956 in its original design form. A publicly held company headquartered in Michigan USA with international headquarters in the UK, Herman Miller has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Their sales offices in over 100 countries include Sri Lanka. JAT Director Promotions Joyce Gunawardene is confident that the range of Herman Miller products will benefit the sitter and improve their productivity and health while also benefitting the corporate sector who invest in the products. The age of comfortable, healthy seating has dawned in Sri Lanka and Herman Miller is all set to provide this.
