Overview

About the Aeron

Introduced in 1994, Aeron became a landmark in ergonomic chair design and one of Herman Miller’s most iconic products. Designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick rejected the traditional padded office chair in favor of a breathable suspension material that distributes pressure while allowing airflow. Aeron’s distinctive frame, multiple size options, and advanced ergonomic adjustments have made it a staple in offices, studios, and home workspaces around the world. The chair was substantially remastered in 2016 while preserving the overall look and philosophy of the original.

What to Look For

Determine whether the chair is Classic or Remastered, since features and resale values differ. Check the mesh for tears or excessive sagging, test the tilt mechanism, inspect arm pads, and confirm which lumbar or PostureFit system is installed.
