FEATURES

• Polished aluminum base with graphite frame finish
• Available in one of 13 lightweight and breathable Pellicle® fabrics, which distribute the user’s weight evenly over the chair’s seat and back
• Available in your choice of 3 sizes (A, B, or C)
• Kinemat® tilt lets the body naturally pivot at the ankles, knees and hips
• Available with optional adjustable lumbar support
• Fixed arms with black nonupholstered armpads
• 5-star base with your choice of standard carpet casters, hard floor casters, deep carpet casters, or glides

Kinemat® System

• Tilt geometry based on natural human body linkages
• Accommodates all of the three basic seated postures identified through research at George Washington University by designer Bill Stumpf
• Design corresponds to natural linkages with movements in line with the normal movement (kinematics) of the human body
• Sitter’s feet, arms, and back support remain in place whether reclining or leaning forward for effortless transition between postures

Lumbar Support

• Added comfort and stability
• Lumbar pad connects to chair back and adjusts vertically through a 4 ½” height range
• Lumbar support depth can be increased or decreased between 1 ¼” and ¾” by simply sliding the pad off and turning it around
• Maintains proper spine alignment and promotes greater overall comfort through hours of seated work

Casters

• Four different caster options can accommodate any style of flooring:
  • Standard casters – work well on most low pile office carpets (wheels 2 ½” diameter)
  • Carpet glides – a good choice if use will be limited to standard-length office carpet (wheels 2 ½” diameter)
  • Deep-carpet casters – loose design and larger size (3” diameter) help the user avoid snags and move easily across thicker carpets
  • Hardwood casters – thin rubber coating prevents damage to flooring and provides greater traction on non-carpeted surfaces

DESIGNERS DON CHADWICK AND BILL STUMPF

Herman Miller turned to designers Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf to design a totally new kind of chair. Chadwick's and Stumpf's previous collaboration had produced the groundbreaking Equa chair.

The two designers began this development process with a clean slate, with no assumptions about form or material, but with some strong convictions about what a chair ought to do for a person.

Ergonomically, it ought to do more than just sit there. It should actively intercede for the health of the person who sits in it longer than she should.

Functionally, it ought to move and adjust as simply and naturally as possible. It should support a person in any position he cares to assume, at any task his office job serves up.

Anthropometrically, it ought to be more inclusive than its predecessors. It should do more than accommodate small or large people; it should really fit them.

Environmentally, it ought to be benign. It should be sparing of natural resources, durable and repairable, designed for disassembly and recycling; made largely of recycled materials, the Aeron chair is designed to last a long time, with parts that get the most wear easily replaced and recycled. It’s just what you would expect in a well thought-out design.

The design that fulfilled these criteria met all expectations and shattered some of them. It wasn't upholstered. It wasn't padded. It was dimensioned in three models that looked exactly alike and that had nothing to do with their users' job titles. It didn't look like any other office chair. And its revolutionary concept incorporated more patentable ideas than any previous Herman Miller research program.
