At a Glance:

Herman Miller’s Aeron Chair is the original ergonomic office chair. First unveiled in the early 1990s, the Aeron Chair has stood the test of time, gaining in popularity every year since its release. In 2014, Don Chadwick was assigned the task of reimagining the Aeron Chair to bring its features and styling into the 21st century. Sticking closely with the chair’s original aesthetic, he worked to improve the chair through preservation. Still available in 3 sizes, constructed out of Herman Miller's proprietary Pellicle™ Fabric, and uniquely sculptural, the Aeron Chair has been remastered to retain its health-positive qualities while bringing its overall construction and features into the modern office.
Some of the reworked features include improved lower back support, new colors, a redesigned seat, specially engineered zonal seating, and a lighter weight. Don Chadwick carefully adhered to the adage “addition through subtraction” in the remastering process. The result is a chair that remains true to the original design’s aesthetics and function while expanding upon its comfort and usability.

What’s to like:

The Aeron Chair is the most popular office chair of all time. It is designed to support the human body throughout the work day to make everyday tasks better, more productive, and more health-positive. Its famous silhouette is still identifiable from across the room, and the 12 year warranty ensures you'll be sitting comfortably for the next decade.

What’s Not to Like:

With a product as complete as the Aeron Chair, it’s tough to find flaws. The initial investment can seem intimidating, but the health-positive effects offset later discomforts that can occur with a less savvy alternative. Spend more now, save yourself later.

The Bottom Line:

You’ll be hard pressed to find a better task chair than the Aeron Chair. Its technology and staying power in workspaces is unsurpassed, and its extensive engineering ensure you’re always comfortable, alert, and productive. The Aeron Chair continues the legacy that the Classic Aeron Chair began: a health-positive chair that is made for work.

Construction:

The Aeron Chair's success can largely be attributed to its patented Pellicle™ fabric. Created through a strong weave, this high-tech material is ideal for an office chair. It's breathable, tensile, supportive, and responsive. The 8Z Pellicle™ fabric takes that original success to a new dimension. 8 sitting zones with different tensions add responsiveness and comfort to the already amazing Pellicle™ family. These zones make sitting in the remastered Aeron a more personal and etherial experience. In addition to the awesome 8Z Pellicle™ fabric, the remastered Aeron Chair comes with a new pallette of three modern colors: Graphite, Carbon, and Mineral.
The Aeron chair isn't just made out of space-age material. Herman Miller ensures that their manufacturing processes are as environmentally friendly as possible, so that the chair doesn't sit in a landfill once its lifespan has lapsed. 89% of the chair is recyclable, and it's constructed out of 53% Recycled content. They've also increased the environmental friendliness by removing all urethane, neoprene, and methylene chloride. Is there anything this chair doesn't do?

The Aeron Chair comes in three different sizes to create a comfortable fit for every body.

• 38.5” h x 25.75” w x 16” d

About the Designer: Don Chadwick

Chadwick's love for furniture design goes back to his childhood, when his cabinetmaker grandfather taught him how to use the tools of the trade--hand tools that required skill, precision, and patience. Later, unlike the other industrial design students at UCLA in the mid-1950s, he focused on furniture. And after hearing a Charles and Ray Eames lecture there, Chadwick was convinced: Furniture offered designers, even industrial designers, the chance to use materials in new, innovative ways--and to make a "real difference" in people's lives.

"Most industrial designers don't take furniture design seriously," he says. "They're not trained to get into that kind of detail. It's too personal, too much like surgery. And besides, you have to be in love with this kind of work." He attributes at least some of this optimism to the "LA recklessness" he's experienced as a lifelong resident of Southern California. "There's less fear of failure out here, so people are more apt to take risks. It's fertile ground for innovation." For over two decades now, Chadwick has had a partner in recklessness. "Herman Miller isn't afraid to take chances on new ideas. That's why the company's been successful for so long, and that's one reason why it's challenging to work for them."
