As work becomes more flexible, the role of the office is shifting. To stay relevant, the successful workplace of the future needs to be dynamic, consisting of a network of spaces that instantly adapts to changing visitor numbers and organisational needs. 

The right furniture is a furniture that is as flexible as you, and as agile as your business needs it to be. And it’s here that the next-gen Ratio can make all the difference.

Design Evolution

Build your office the way you want it with the help of Ratio. Back and better than ever, this sit-to-stand desking solution is armed with a multitude of options. 

You Asked, We Listened

Herman Miller studied the latest ergonomic science to better understand how you move as you work. Plus, they asked you how you use our products, and how can they be refined. The listened to what their customers had to say.

The result is a desk that supports people and businesses through changing needs and changing times. Ratio is a height-adjustable workstation whose versatility makes it the perfect tool for the modern workspace; at home, or in the office.

Power of Choice

With the next-gen Ratio, you get to choose. Ratio is available with round legs, giving the table a lightweight look ideal for the modern office; or rectangular legs for structured, architectural appeal. The choice is yours.

Giving you even more to choose from are Ratio’s new mobility options, guaranteeing smooth transitions between focus work, collaborations and meetings. Castors are available for single desks in both rectangular- and round-leg versions.

In multi-desk settings, the round-leg Ratio comes with castors, while the rectangular-leg version comes with gliders.

Ratio’s simple, streamlined form also adapts to any configuration.

Set it up in rows or unlimited clusters, or position it on its own.

Personal Space

Bringing more privacy to the table are the screen options. Now affixed to the top of the crossbeam for a clean-lined look and efficient support, the new screens are designed for versatility, supporting any workplace configuration.

For standalone settings, you can choose to incorporate a screen, or not. For row or clustered settings, the screen moves up and down to deliver additional privacy, and a sense of psychological safety. In back-to-back formations, the screen will remain in a fixed position between the desks.

Work Your Way

You get to choose how you move and when. Ratio’s intuitive one-touch electric controls let you decide, and they shift the desk between positions in an instant.

The assigned desk version of Ratio also comes with programmable pre-sets. Save your settings, and you’re good to go. Ratio will adjust with ease to your perfect posture whenever you come back to it.

Plus have your say about where to place the controls for moving from sit to stand. They can be integrated into the desk surface, or mounted on the front edge – take your pick.

More Power Where You Need It

Herman Miller streamlined the desk's under-structure for ease of use and a cleaner look. Ratio now features their in-house designed umbilical cord, keeping cables out of sight, yet efficiently organised. They also improved cable tray capacity for more power where you need it. The lower cable tray now features an intuitive hinged lid, making access quick and easy. They closed both ends of the upper cable tray, facilitating cable management, and providing a sleek finish.

Design Heritage: A Story Continued

Herman Miller has always believed in the importance of supporting a variety of postures and encouraging healthy movement while you work. An alternative to sitting down at the desk is woven into their design history.

In the 1960s both Robert Propst and George Nelson pioneered the concept of alternative working positions. Propst, the creator of Action Office, the world’s first open-plan office system, designed a hybrid of a stool and chair he termed a ‘perch’. Nelson, who was appointed Design Director in 1947, enjoyed standing around at work and thought others might also. He designed a stand-up, roll-top desk for the Action Office line. Both designers recognised the benefits of standing while working, long before the term ‘ergonomics’ was widely known or understood.
