Founded in Berlin in 1992 by Burkhard Schmitz and Carola Zwick, Studio 7.5 was created with a shared commitment to creative freedom, collaboration, and curiosity. Operating without hierarchy or rigid roles, the studio approaches every project as a collective, allowing ideas to evolve through open dialogue, experimentation, and hands-on problem solving.

This thoughtful and highly tactile process has defined Studio 7.5’s celebrated work with Herman Miller, including the award-winning Setu, Mirra, Mirra 2, and Cosm chairs. Known for designing what they call “equipment” rather than simply furniture, the team focuses on how a chair performs as much as how it looks—creating intuitive tools that adapt naturally to the body and support the way people work.
