The Aeron Chair has been 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.
Indesign recently visited the Melbourne studio of the prominent Australian architectural firm Architectus to explore why the Aeron Chair from Herman Miller is their preferred task chair. In this feature, Associate Interior Designer Alana Fahey reflects on her experience with the Aeron Chair and discusses her connection to the Herman Miller brand.
"As a chair that is made with no fabric, no leather and is now being produced with ocean bound Plastics, the Aeron is an obvious choice when it comes to making sustainable decisions around product choices.
Further to that, picking a chair that's going to last the length of the fit out and then potentially go beyond, is really key from a longevity perspective.
We love our Aeron chairs."
Alana Fahey, Associate Interior Designer, Architectus
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’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.
