Herman Miller Aeron Chair
designed by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf
 At A Glance:
Aeron is the godfather of the ergonomic office chair revolution. Designed by Bill Stumpf and released in the 90s, it became knows as the dot.com chair. A younger, more tech savvy group of people had found an office chair for them. To this day, the Aeron remains one of the best ergonomic chairs you can buy. It was the first, and it's still one of the best. Aeron is available in to best suit you.
What's To Like:
The Aeron Chair was described as alien looking by some test groups when it first debuted. But they didn't realize those crazy kids wanted just that. The Aeron is unique to say the least, and comfortable and supportive to boot. It's also the first of its kind, so it scores originality points.
What's Not to Like:
If you're a larger person, there is a small flaw in the Aeron. The seat is edged with a curving hard plastic, and at the left and right edge it is upturned - that can be uncomfortable for some. Otherwise, this is a pretty sensational chair.
The Bottom Line:
A cutting-edge look and a serious commitment to comfort and support, all from the first of the breed. Bill Stumpf would go on to make the Embody Chair, but surpassing his original creation has often proved impossible for even the best ergonomic designers.

For almost twenty years, people who work in offices have benefited from the Aeron Chair by Herman Miller. From the beginning, its ergonomic design and outstanding features destined it for popularity and, ultimately, a place in history. Sleek, stylish, shapely, and smart, the Aeron Chair offers engineered support that means comfort and promotes efficiency, productivity, and safety. Considering the Aeron for your office? Call our extra-helpful, problem-solving sales team at 888-476-6278 if you have any questions at all. Today, this chair is an emblem of informed style. Graceful and symmetrical, it matches almost any office decor, yet it's distinctive in every setting, like a work of art. The look is classic and modern at once, with handsome colors and tones that indicate relaxed and confident professionalism. The design of the Herman Miller Aeron Chair uses no foam or stuffing, only an elemental palette of steel, leather, and molded plastic. Bases and frames are available in color combinations including graphite, titanium, smoke, and aluminum, with even more choices for the color of the upholstery. To those who use this chair, the allure is clear from the outset. And it only increases. Individual choice is a hallmark of the Aeron Chair by Herman Miller. The diversity inherent in the human body - large, small, round, lean - was a deeply understood idea for the chair's original designers, who took care to ensure that the chair features no straight lines or edges. Select from three available chair sizes to accommodate people from petite to husky. Choose between models with various reclining and forward tilt features. Pick casters with varying traction and power that keeps the Aeron chair rolling smoothly on everything from hard wood to deep plush carpet. Unlike traditional office chairs, the Herman Miller Aeron Chair authentically promotes the health of the user - so much so, in fact, that a great many buyers seek the out this chair simply for that one benefit. Taking into account the physical contours and natural mathematics of the body, the chair respects pivot points at the hips, knees, and ankles, distributing typical stresses of movement throughout the limbs and trunk to alleviate detrimental effects. The chair's seat features a "waterfall" front, curving forward and downward to allow the thighs to rest easily instead of folding over a hard edge. Other design features assist with posture and circulation. Where some traditional chairs can actually contribute to fatigue, the Aeron Chair helps to preserve and increase the energy you bring to your work. |
The Aeron Chair is available in three sizes. to see a larger version of this sizing chart to see what size is right for you. |
The Aeron Chair adjusts with a flexibility and suppleness that mirror the capability of the person sitting in it. Conceived as optimally adaptable for multiple users, it offers a number of separate features that the user can change as desired -- and to a precise degree. These include the position of the arms, the tilt of the seat, the height of the seat, and the level of lumbar support. Set these features, and you'll find the chair responds to your movements with a fluid maneuverability. If it's your first time in an Aeron Chair, you'll find it a redefinition of the way a seat and a seated body can work together. The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is designed and built on ergonomic principles, focused on the variability of weight and structure in the human figure - and on how the individual body actually operates in a seated position. Limitless variety in the lengths of limbs and the positions of elbows and hips means that safe and effective long-term sitting depend on adaptable design. The Aeron Chair cradles and supports your body in continual comfort.
The strong, supportive, and breathable Pellicle mesh fabric of the backrest and seat is also light and permeable, which helps to regulate temperatures and allows you to stay cool, dry, and extra comfortable. None of the disagreeable extra warmth and moisture that can build up with conventional chairs is present with the Aeron Chair by Herman Miller. The fabric fits your form, which means there's far less pressure at the expected points along your body. Modern office work often means sitting for long periods; this chair lets you do that, minimizing the part of your concentration that must go your physical comfort, and letting you direct your mind instead to getting things done efficiently, without tiring.

Distinctive, Pioneering, Iconic. The Aeron Chair by Herman Miller is the office chair that defines all three. Created at Herman Miller by legendary designers Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf, the Aeron Chair broke the mold, as well as all the rules. A commercial and artistic triumph, the Aeron Chair managed the unthinkable feat of being the best selling office chair of all time, as well as a featured piece in the Museum of Modern Art. It's also environmentally sustainable and constructed and planned to be the greenest most responsible chair ever. Buy the Aeron Chair today. At the time of it's release, the Aeron chair was funny looking. It was sleek, devoid of foam or stuffing, and featured several design elements radically different from the average office chair. The Aeron chair's seat curved upwards at the edges, cradling the hips and creating a comfort pocket for the user. The lip of the seat curved downward, saving thighs from the wear and tear of eight-hour days at the desk, and increasing user circulation. The back of the chair didn't subscribe to straight lines either; it had been designed for support, curving inward to the small of the back then fanning out to the shoulders, keeping posture erect and comfort intact. Aeron wasn't only newfangled; it was a handsome office chair with a groundbreaking design and a mathicng performance that's won it numerous design awards. Elegant steel structure supporting molded plastic, with leather accents on the arms. Aeron swiveled, bent, adjusted, and generally molded itself to the worker, the office, the busy day. The Aeron chair pulled off the feat of being unmistakably unique and endlessly adaptive, and over time it has become a pop culture icon. Get distinctive. Design and buy an Aeron today. Shaped like a butterfly, PostureFit integrates seamlessly into the Aeron design, improving rather than marring it's artistic integrity. PostureFit isn't the only design element pushing the Aeron chair to the cutting edge of ergonomic research; the first chair to get rid of the foam and padding was designed at every inch to be the most comfortable, intuitive, adaptable chair possible. The Aeron has a wide back contoured to take pressure off the spine, armrests angled for maximum comfort and natural positioning, and the Kinemat tilt system, which allows all of your joints to pivot, recline and lean naturally and easily. The Aeron chair isn't just a place to sit; it's a dialogue between your body and design that results in a kind of partner at work. The pioneering spirit exhibited by Chadwick & Bill Stumpf isn't just about Aeron's ergonomics. Displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, the Aeron chair by Herman Miller broke all the rules of design and still managed to be beautiful, comfortable, and functional. Aeron is one of the world's only recognizable office chairs, representing taste, quality, beauty, excellence. The sloping arm rests, the curved and contoured backing, the flexing seat with a waterfall front, the material: the Aeron chair was a revolution. Be pioneering. Buy an Aeron today.

 Bill Stumpf
Stumpf's association with Herman Miller began in 1970 when he joined the staff of the Herman Miller Research Corporation. After establishing his own firm in 1972, Stumpf created the Ergon chair, the first ergonomic work chair. Later, in collaboration with Don Chadwick, he produced the groundbreaking Equa and iconic Aeron chairs. He also was principal designer for the Ethospace system. "I enjoy myself, and I do it through design," Stumpf declared in an interview a few years ago. "I love beauty, and I love the availability of beautiful things and useful things immediately around me." During his lifetime Stumpf- a key figure in Herman Miller's transformation into a research-based, problem-solving innovator- received numerous awards for this work. Most recently, he was named the winner of the 2006 National Design Award in Product Design, an award presented posthumously by the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Stumpf died in 2006.
 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."

| Design Story | back to top |
In 2000, Herman Miller established a relationship with Dr. Brock Walker, a former chiropractor and owner of a renowned back pain clinic, and who was now a consultant for various ergonomic industries, including the military, racing and aerospace corporations.
Dr. Walker: "I recognized a genuine passion and enthusiasm on Herman Miller's part in exploring emerging seating technologies for its customer base." So he paired with designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick to work on the Aeron chair, with the goal of making Aeron the most comfortable and supportive chair on the market. To accomplish this, they came up with PostureFit. | 
Convenient tilt controls | | Bill Dowell, head of Project Research at Herman Miller, on why PostureFit became so important to the design of the Aeron chair: "Our research shows that workers tend sit in a forward-leaning position, that is, slouch, during much of their day. This contributes to fatigue, backaches, headaches, and sometimes more serious health problems on the job."
"Until we met Brock, I hadn't seen a solution that promotes a healthy posture and addresses what we call the 'void,' that area behind the beltline between the person and the chair back. Brock's automotive and aerospace work in seating confirmed how critical it is to support this area." | 
Superior lumbar back support | | | Unlike many office chairs that are designed to correct posture and straighten the spine, the Aeron chair with PostureFit was made to support normative sitting. So instead of forcing the back into an uncomfortable line, it supports it in the most comfortable position for as long as needed. Aeron had taken a huge step forward, according to designer Bill Stumpf: "Like Aeron, PostureFit's design reflects what we are learning about the human torso. In and of itself, I think PostureFit represents a positive, evolutionary, and exciting step forward. It's leading the next wave of ergonomics." |

 | Smart Furniture Employee Review
Working at Smart Furniture is kind of like playing musical chairs. You can't ever assume that what you're sitting in today will be what you're sitting in tomorrow. We shuffle chairs around to learn about them; it creates a nice communal feel around the office and gives us an excuse to steal each other's chairs pretty much whenever we please.
And so today, I find myself sitting in the Aeron Chair. Seeing as how this is pretty much the most famous office chair ever created, I'm surprised that it's taken this long for me to land one. This particular version I'm sitting in is a size B, which seems to fit me just fine as I'm 5'11 and skinny; it has leather armpads (nice), and the PostureFit Lumbar Support option. Read more... |

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is constructed in a way that's both environmentally friendly and intended to provide years of satisfying operation. Most of the material used in building each chair is recycled, and most can be recycled again (if you can bear to part with the chair). Because the patented mesh fabric returns easily to its original shape when the chair is empty, the fabric is especially durable and maintains its appearance even after years of regular use. People who've owned the chair for years still say they love it. Herman Miller's 12-year warranty for the Aeron Chair demonstrates the company's faith in the product. But the company's values are about more than the just the chair. They're about commitment to long-term benefits for customers, commitment to a style of work, and belief in a way of being.

Q: My desk is about 30 inches on the top surface and I'm not using a keyboard tray. Is this chair high enough to comfortably keep my forearms parallel from the padded arm rests, to the top surface of my desk? Thanks! Asked on 2/8/2013 by Jamie McElroy from Knoxville, TN. Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Unfortunately that question cannot be answered with the data presented. It would depend on the Aeron seat height required for your height and posture. It would be best to call in to our sales office and we can better diagnose options. We can be reached at 888.467.6278. Answered on 2/12/2013 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: I work at my desk for 12hr shifts, only to be replaced by my relief for his 12hr shift. What is the recommended daily usage of the Aeron, and what is the expected lifespan of the chair for it being used 24hr a day due to the two 12hr shifts? Asked on 2/6/2013 by Rick from Texas Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The Aeron Chair by Herman Miller is rated for 24 hour usage with a 12 year warranty. Of course, the Aeron could last longer than 12 years. But we definitely don't recommend including it in your office chair races....it would only embarrass the other chairs. Answered on 2/7/2013 by Karen G. from Smart Furniture
Q: I have a desk with a keyboard tray and the arm-rests on most chairs always hit my keyboard tray. I'd like to know what is the distance between the seat of the chair and the arm-rest, when the arm-rest is in its lowest position and when the arm-rest is fully extended to its highest position. Asked on 1/15/2013 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I am happy to give you this information but keep in mind it will all depend on your seat height setting. The distance between the seat of the chair and the armrest when the armrest is in its lowest position is 5" and when the armrest is fully extended to its highest position is 9". Answered on 1/16/2013 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: I have an Aeron Chair that I inherited so I know that the warranty is no longer valid. Anyway, I was wondering if I can buy parts from y'all...or can you refer me to the correct people? What I need is the seat frame (the part that holds the material you sit on). Any info you have would be greatly appreciated Asked on 12/29/2012 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes, we can sell you the replacement seat for your Aeron Chair, just contact our sales team either by phone at 888.467.6278 or email at sales@smartfurniture.com. We will need you to give us the information from the white sticker under the seat of the chair. We need to make sure to get you the right part as all replacement parts are all sales final. Answered on 12/31/2012 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: does the back of the eaeron chair tilt? I got mine today and can not figure out how it can tilt back or move along with me. Asked on 12/13/2012 by Lena from Chicago, IL Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Yes, all Aeron Chairs lean back. It sounds like you need to adjust the tilt tension knob. Its the one with the +/- on it. It would help for you to watch the Aeron Adjustment Guide on YouTube. Answered on 12/13/2012 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: In what situation do I need to use adjustable arms? Asked on 12/2/2012 by Faith from Ky Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: The Aeron chair's fully adjustable arms moves arms up to 4" vertically and allows you to pivot the armpads 15 degrees outward and 17.5 degrees inward for added flexibility and mobility while you're seated. Adjustable arms also allow people with different statures to choose the arm height and angle that best accommodates their body size and work style. The adjustable arms also enable you to choose the best arm height for your desk or keyboard tray for proper keyboarding support. Answered on 12/3/2012 by Karen G. from Smart Furniture
Q: how much does aeron chair weight? Asked on 3/14/2012 by elisa_ Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: The Aeron Chair in sizes A or B weighs 55 lbs, while the chair in size C weighs 58 lbs. Answered on 3/15/2012 by Smart Furniture A: 60lbs Answered on 4/17/2012 by Impression from Baltimore, MD
Q: I have another sizing question. I'm 6'-1" and 225 pounds and my wife is 5'-5" and maybe 160 pounds (she won't tell me and I surely won't ask!). Her inseam is 30". Should we order size B or size C? We tend to sit upright at the desk. Will a size B be too snug around the hips? Thanks for your help! Asked on 3/5/2012 by Bruce from Bellingham, WA Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: If you both will be sharing the chair, a Mirra might be better as it has adjustments that would allow you both to use the chair comfortably. If you must have the Aeron, a size B would work. The size B would not be as supportive on the thighs if sitting in the chair all day. Please give us a call at 888-467-6278 and we'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have. Answered on 3/5/2012 by Anonymous
Q: I'm 350 plus any problems??? Asked on 10/7/2011 by buck from chicago Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: All three chair sizes are tested and warranted for use by persons 300 pounds and under. Answered on 10/7/2011 by Anonymous
Q: does this chair tilt side to side? Asked on 10/6/2011 by deb from great falls mt Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: No, the Aeron Chair only tilts back (and forward by 4 degrees if you opt for the seat angle). Answered on 10/6/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: Does the chair come fully assembled? Asked on 7/27/2011 by Marshall from Rochester, NY Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: I payed to have this assembled. Yes Answered on 8/25/2011 by Gary from Ontario,CA A: It can, you specify whether you want the chair fully assembled or not in step 9 of the SmartDesigner. Ordering the chair fully assembled adds $50 to the price of the chair. Answered on 7/27/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q: I am 6'3" and 210lbs, and my wife is 5'8" and 140lbs. We plan on sharing this chair. Would you recommend a C or B size? Asked on 5/28/2011 by pb Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: This could go either way. If you get the B you will find the seat not quite deep enough to support your thighs and the back a little short. If you get the C the deeper seat may hit your wife in the back of the calves with the hard seat front edge. I would say if your wife's legs are long (meaning for her height her legs are long as opposed to a long torso) go with a C. Make sure to get fully adjustable arms so she can pull the arms (which are spaced father apart on a C) closer to her body for a more comfortable sitting experience. Call us to discuss in more detail if you like at 888.467.6278. Answered on 5/30/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture A: Think you'd be happy with either... wife same size ... me 5 11 same size... have a B and a C... I have the B... will probably end up with the C... she has the C will probably end up with the B. We have no complaints, but the B is a little snug for me... so I'd recommend the C for you both as my wife doesn't have any complaints with the C at all.

Q: I am 5'11 and 140 lbs, should I go with size B or C? I was thinking I'd go with size C because of my height, but just want an experts input. Thank you. Asked on 4/13/2011 by Mic Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Good question. The size C will be 1.25" wider overall, have a 1.5" deeper seat and a 3" taller back. If you lean back a lot I would go with the size C as you will use that taller back to support you when reclining. If you typically work sitting straight up I would go with a size B. Reason being, the front edge of the seat has a hard waterfall profile, and sitting straight up typically your legs are tucked under the seat and the back of your calves will get tired of be snuggled up against the (deeper size C) hard edge.

Q: I'm 5'1", weight 180 lbs. Which chair should I choose A, B or C. Asked on 3/23/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer Q: I am 5'2" and weigh 118 lb. Even with a back support added to my "Manly" chair, I end up sitting on the edge of my seat when I work on the computer. My back is never resting on the chair. I want a chair with a short base. Would this chair allow me to sit close to the key board and my back supported? I am also concerned about the seat being cold! With no fat on my body, I get cold easily. How can I get a covered base? Asked on 2/23/2011 by Maggie from Little Rock, AR Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: The Aeron chair is available in 3 sizes. With your height and weight a size A is perfect for you, it will have the shortest seat height and smallest stature of all the chairs we offer. You will want to order the chair with a "tilt limiter and seat angle" as this will allow you to sit on the edge of your seat and still be supported by the back of the chair. The PostureFit lumbar support will also be helpful should you opt for the add on lumbar feature. A covered base is not an option for Aeron though, maybe you can keep a blanket or throw at your desk. For additional suggestions please email sales@smartfurniture.com and we will do our best to match you up with your perfect chair. Answered on 2/24/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture A: You should look at the aeron chair. I get good back support and can sit close to the keyboard.

Q: I am looking for a new office chair for my boss. He is 91 and still in the office 6-8 hours per day. He has trouble standing up from the chair and I am trying to find a secure lift chair that swivals. Asked on 1/19/2011 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I would suggest a chair with no casters. This will allow him to push up from the chair without it moving. Take a look at the Setu with the four star base.

Q: How far does this chair tilt back? I'm looking for something that tilts back to almost a flat position. thanks, Asked on 12/20/2010 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: None of our office chairs tilt back to a sleep position, Including the Aeron chair. Do you need this chair to sit at a desk? If not, try one of our Ekornes Stressless recliners ( http://www.smartfurniture.com/ekornes-stressless-chairs.html, they tilt back to a sleep position. I hope this helps.

Q: This chair sounds too good to be true. Would it be possible to get it without the caster base but rather an adapter plate that would fit my Chevy Impala? I love my car but the seats are killing me. This style of ergonomic seat would solve many back problems for those of us that commute 1-3 hours per day. The seat belts are attached to the B pillar and the floor so your chair wouldn't need to bear the load of the restraints. Asked on 10/8/2010 by Rickb from Jackson, MI Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: Its not a bad idea but we don't recommend it. Your best bet were you to take on this project would be to purchase an Aeron Side Chair (which unfortunately we don't sell) as it has a sled base. Assuming you are handy, you can alter that sled base to the right height for use in your Imapala. Answered on 10/11/2010 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
