Herman Miller Aeron Chair
Aeron is the combination of distinctive looks with pioneering ergonomics and that is why the Herman Miller Aeron performs like no other chair on sale today. It adapts and adjusts exactly to fit people of all sizes and postures doing all kinds of activities, for all day comfort. The unique design by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf of both the work and side chairs offers superior comfort, support and style that are widely copied but never matched.
Wellworking have successfully used Aeron chairs on many projects large & small including IoD.
For those customers looking purchase online, Wellworking also offer Aeron chairs in our online store.
Product Story
The Aeron chair didn't end up in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection just because it looks cool. Although it does. Its looks are only the beginning. Aeron accommodates both the sitter and the environment. It adapts naturally to virtually every body, and it's 94% recyclable. Even if it's black, it's green.
The Redefinition of a Work Chair
Imaginative design, fast-forward ergonomics and a look so distinctive that it's probably the only office chair that people can identify by name. Adaptable to all sizes and shapes and all the motions you go through every day while seated, Aeron provides healthy comfort and balanced body support with its innovative suspension and easy-to-use adjustment controls. Work chair, side chair, and stool support all kinds of office work.
Pioneering PostureFit Innovation
A modest, but fundamental, design addition, PostureFit is part of what makes Aeron so comfortable to sit in, even for hours and hours on end. PostureFit supports the way your pelvis tilts naturally forward, so that your spine stays aligned and you avoid back pain.
Ergonomic support
The PostureFit difference. This next-generation breakthrough provides natural, custom-fitted lower-back support below the beltline for healthier posture and outstanding lower-back comfort and represents a major ergonomic breakthrough in seating.
High back. All three chair sizes have a high and wide contoured back that takes weight off the lower spine. Easy on the arms. Wide, soft armrests are sloped in the front. Waterfall front edge. Reduces pressure under the thighs so circulation isn't restricted.
Natural tilt
Smooth ride. The Kinematic tilt lets people move naturally and effortlessly, from forward-leaning through reclining. In synchrony. The backrest and seat pan move in proper relation for correct support in all positions. Responsive. Whether the user is in motion or at rest, the chair spontaneously supports the preferred posture.
Human-Centered Design
We're serious about comfort. The high, wide, contoured back takes the pressure off your lower spine. Armrests slope slightly down in the back for the most natural and comfortable support. The "waterfall" front edge of the seat takes the pressure off your thighs, so your blood keeps circulating and you stay alert and focused. The patented Kinemat tilt mechanism lets your neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles pivot naturally. The Aeron chair moves effortlessly with your whole body, as if your body were telling the chair what to do.
First Chair to Lose the Foam
Where are the cushions? A chair should conform to your contours and relieve the pressure points and heat build-up that cause the aches and pains and fatigue that people who sit all day often think are just part of the job. The Pellicle-that specially woven seat and back suspension material developed for Aeron-does what cushions can't. It conforms to your body and cradles it, keeping the pressure even across your body-and keeps you cool at the same time.
It's Got the Look
The Aeron aesthetic has been copied and copied-because, well, it's a beautiful chair. But despite its stand-out look, it fits right in, whether your office is high-tech, casual, elegant, or a room at home that doubles as a gym. Three Pellicle weaves in neutral colors and a range of finish options so that you can create the Aeron you really want.
Earth-Friendly
Green was built into the Aeron chair from the beginning of the design stage. Over half of each chair is recycled materials, and almost the entire chair-94%-is recyclable. Certified to MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver, Aeron is GREENGUARD certified and can contribute to LEED certification.
An Ideal Chair
A chair should fit the body like a piece of clothing. Ideally, a work chair should provide the personal fit of a shirt or a pair of pants. People shouldn’t be required to “wear” chairs that are too big or too small.
What We Know
People vary widely in all their dimensions. Improperly fitted chairs can cause discomfort and contribute to health problems. People on the edges of the “normal” distribution curve for any dimension may not be well served by work chairs designed for people at the center of the curve. People vary considerably in shape as well as overall size. In addition to the 17 inches in height and 140 pounds in weight that separates a 1st-percentile female from a 99th-percentile male (Gordon et al. 1988), there are gender-related differences in bone structure and weight distribution and infinite variations in limb lengths and body contours. Even among a group of people of the same gender, age, and stature, one finds significant variation in bodily proportions (Pheasant 1986). Two men of the same standing height, for instance, can appear to be of very different heights when seated, and their seated elbow heights may vary by as much as three or four inches.
Achieving a match between certain body dimensions and corresponding chair dimensions is crucial to the sitter’s comfort and health. The wrong seat height can cause uncomfortable pressure on the backs of the thighs (Bush 1969). A seat pan that is too wide or too deep may prevent the sitter from taking advantage of armrests and backrest contours that help to transfer weight from the spine (Occhipinti et al. 1985, Andersson et al. 1974).
Most work chairs are designed on a “middle-out” model of anthropometrics intended to accommodate the middle 95 percent of the user population: from the 5th-percentile female to the 95th- percentile male. However, as British ergonomist Stephen Pheasant points out, there is no true 5th- or 95th-percentile person; someone who is at the 95th percentile for stature is likely to be at a different percentile on distribution curves for lower leg length or sitting elbow height. So a chair designed to accommodate the middle 95 percent on each of a succession of important dimensions could conceivably exclude a different 5 percent of users with each anthropometric constraint. The end result would be a chair that accommodates considerably less than 95 percent of its potential users.
