AERON CHAIR BY HERMAN MILLER

DESIGNED BY | Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, 1994

A Pioneering design moves forward

Ergonomic to the core, Aeron was designed for a wide range of body types, thanks to the extensive research from designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick nearly 30 years ago. Its launch was pioneering in the office furniture industry—and it still is, thanks to updated research and material innovation, including the addition of ocean-bound plastic to the body of the chair.

We've always known Aeron is good for our bodies—now it’s just as good for our environment too. Aeron with ocean-bound plastic is available now in Onyx. Coming soon, Aeron with ocean-bound plastic in Mineral, Carbon, and Graphite.

Where comfort meets support

The Aeron Chair is the benchmark for ergonomic seating since its debut in 1994. Since then, Herman Miller has learned a lot about how to best support people – and their postures. Aeron offers smarter weight distribution through 8Z Pellicle, adjustable PostureFit SL for total spinal support, and balanced recline and natural movement thanks to Harmonic 2 Tilt.

Designed for the elements

Aeron is available in a palette of six meticulously curated material expressions centred on natural elements that lean towards neutral. These colours include: Onyx, a dramatic ultra-black shade; Graphite, a distinctive dark grey; Carbon, a balanced neutral; Mineral, a light, illuminating grey; the new-to-Aeron Nightfall, a sophisticated midnight blue; and Jasper, an earthy olive green. Each component of the chair creates a fundamentally harmonious colour palette.

Sustainable from the start

Aeron’s legacy of sustainability and innovation continues since its introduction nearly 30 years ago. It proved pioneering in both ergonomics and material innovation, without relying on the standard use of foam, fabric, or leather found in most office chairs at the time. Aeron is composed of more than 50 percent recycled material, including ocean-bound plastic.

A more inclusive chair

Aeron’s three sizes – A, B and C – were precisely designed to welcome a wide range of body types. Most ergonomic chairs accommodate people in the fifth to 95th percentile, but we believe an even broader range of individuals deserve a chair that fits them: everything from the backrest height, to the seat width, to the tilt mechanism, all the way down to the size of the base. There’s an Aeron suited to nearly everyone, from the first to the 99th percentile.
