The Aeron Chair by Herman Miller is one of the best office chairs available. It is often regarded as the benchmark in ergonomic desk chair seating. Designed by Don Chadwick & Bill Stumpf in 1994 specifically for Herman Miller, the Aeron Chair has gone on to win numerous awards for its novel design.
The Aeron was awarded “Designs Greatest Hits” by Your Company magazine and is the “Design of the Decade” gold award winner by Business Week & Industrial Designers Society of America.
The Aeron is the only desk chair to gain a spot in the New York Museum of Modern Art. This ergonomic desk chair is available in three sizes (A, B & C) and two models (Basic and Highly Adjustable). The Aeron is one of the first chairs to abandon foam seating for its patented flexible mesh material called Pellicle, which distributes the weight evenly over a wide area as well as allowing the free flow of air through the fabric to cool your skin. The Aeron is highly adjustable and customizable which helps relieve back and neck pain. The chair can be customized through its lumbar support, adjustable arm rests and pneumatic height lift, to name a few. The Aeron Chair is very “green” as it was constructed with the environment in mind. The chair parts are made from 66% recycled materials and is 94% recyclable. As an added bonus, Aeron Chairs are backed by Herman Miller’s 12-year warranty.
It is no wonder why the Aeron Chair is one of the best-selling ergonomic desk chairs of all time! You definitely cannot go wrong with buying an Aeron for your office needs.
Snippet From Wikipedia
In April 2010, Business Week published an article which doubts the actual ergonomic benefits of the Aeron chair. The article includes comments from Don Chadwick who says he wasn’t hired to design the ideal product for an eight-hour-workday; he was hired to update Herman Miller’s previous best-seller. “We were given a brief and basically told to design the next-generation office chair,” he says.
