Herman Miller’s Aeron® Chair Gets Remastered

The Aeron Chair has been the go-to office chair for 20+ years now, as the covetable icon was not like any other chair on the market. And while it may seem silly to mess with perfection, Herman Miller along with original co-designer Don Chadwick, spent more than two years and found a way to make it even better. The brand-new Aeron Chair may look similar in silhouette, but everything else has been remastered. Take a look.

After more than two decades on the market, materials, technology, and manufacturing have vastly changed. Aeron aims to give you a much more comfortable and health-positive sit with a new reengineered tilt mechanism, adjustable spinal support, and a new suspension system, making it more responsive and more sensitive to the individual.

Since we’re all different shapes and sizes, our chairs should also be that way, right? Most chairs are a one-size-fits-all, which tends to do your body more harm than good. The remastered Aeron is available in three sizes with the goal of bringing the same level of comfort to the widest range of people and body types.

PostureFit SL is made up of adjustable pads that help keep your sacrum and lumbar region stabilized and supported to give you a healthy posture, just as if you were standing. Both components were devised to help strengthen your spine in order to develop what Herman Miller calls “power posture.”

The new, innovative 8Z Pellicle material works eight zones – across the seat and back, eight latitudinal zones in varying tension, welcome the sitter with supreme comfort and the utmost ergonomic support perfectly hugging the body where needed. Also, the open weave of the material keeps you at a comfortable body temp by allowing air, body heat, and water vapor to pass.

Mineral

Aeron comes in three sizes and it’s also available in three different colors – Mineral, Carbon, and Graphite – to fit just about any work environment. Available for purchase anywhere Herman Miller products are sold or online here.
