Aeron Chair
Summary
Designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick kept innovation at the core of the Aeron Chair from Herman Miller. Its revolutionary ergonomic support, breathable comfort, and adjustable arms, seat height, depth, and recline make it effortless for everyone to benefit from an optimal seating posture. Aeron’s 8Z Pellicle suspension material features eight separate zones of tension to quietly support your body’s pressure points for all-day ergonomic support and comfort. Its three sizes—A, B, and C—were precisely designed to welcome a wide range of body types, from the first to the 99th percentile. Made in part from recycled ocean-bound plastic, it’s an eco-friendly choice, too.

Aeron never stops
It bends, it breathes, it tilts and torques, but it never stops innovating.
Where comfort meets support
The Aeron Chair has been the benchmark for ergonomic seating ever since its debut in 1994. Since then, Herman Miller has learnt a lot about how to best support people – and their postures. What has been incorporated into today’s Aeron Chair are all of the technological and ergonomic enhancements that have been gained along the way: 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 material innovation is at the heart of its sustainability story – and a lesson in the major effects of dematerialisation. The chair is composed of more than 50% recycled material – and in 2021, we added ocean-bound plastic to the chair. We’ve also increased the amount of recycled and organic materials in the chair’s composition. Not only is Aeron actively innovated upon, but it’s also naturally sustainable through its quality design, which keeps it out of landfills. So when we say Aeron is a lasting design, we mean it wholeheartedly.
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.
Don Chadwick & Bill Stumpf
When designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick set out to create a chair that was health-positive, cross-performing, inclusively-sized, and environmentally sensitive, they arrived at a design unlike the world had ever seen. Aeron demonstrated a pioneering step in ergonomics and material innovation, and provided a comfortable solution without the standard use of foam, fabric, or leather. It changed people’s perception of what an office chair could be—and in doing so it soon found a place in popular culture.
Remastered by Don Chadwick, 2016 Fast forward to the present, and the same criteria serve as the foundation for a remastered Aeron. Just as iconic films and albums are updated for new mediums, standards, and audiences, Aeron has been remastered based on Herman Miller’s latest research around the science of sitting, advancements in materials, manufacturing, and technology, and today’s world of work. The office of 1994 would be largely unrecognizable today. With all the changes that have occurred, it only made sense that Aeron should also change to better meet the needs of today’s work, workers, and workplaces.
