"Stuff for gamers tends to look...ridiculous. You've got all these sharp angles, and don't get me started on the constant need to shove RBG LEDs into friggin' everything. Well, in stark contrast to that trend, Elgato, makers of the Stream Deck, various capture cards, and other kit for streaming setups, has a new chair that looks almost too normal. And for a decent chair that'll last you? It ain't sitting at too terrible of a price."
"As Tom Warren at The Verge states, the Embrace seems to be going up against Herman Miller's " Embody " chair which, I'll be honest, has a touch more personality with its color options. I'm really into the white and purple theme. Elegant, not overbearing. But wow, that thing costs almost $2,000. I'm sure it'll save me back problems down the line, but if I'm spending that kinda money and it's not for rent, it's almost certainly for something completely irresponsible."
Elgato's Embrace chair retails for $500 and will ship this holiday season. The chair adopts design elements common to gaming chairs to support long sitting sessions. The design intentionally contrasts typical gamer aesthetics characterized by sharp angles and abundant RGB lighting by presenting a more subdued, almost normal appearance. The Embrace appears positioned to compete with Herman Miller's Embody, which offers additional color personality but costs nearly $2,000. A comparison is made to a five-year-old $300 Amazon chair, with emphasis on durability, comfort, and preference for moderate color options such as two-tone schemes.
