The Aeron chair is a product of Herman Miller, designed in 1994 by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. It is an ergonomic chair that is relatively expensive compared with other commonly used task chairs, but is regarded by many as very comfortable due to its wide range of adjustability. Its novel design has gained it a spot in the New York Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. The chair's exclusivity became a symbol of the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s.
The chair departs from a typical upholstery-over-cushioning-base design. Instead, the seat and back are made of a stretched, semi-transparent, and flexible mesh called Pellicle. Another noteworthy feature is that the Aeron is manufactured in three different sizes. It can be customized through modular extensions like lumbar support, armrests and changeable bases to accommodate diverse fields of deployment.
