Aeron Chair by Herman Miller

Designed by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf

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.
