Watch TV for a night and you’ll see the Aeron chair making an appearance somewhere—from TV shows to commercials. And, if you’re a movie fan, you’ll see it in the cinema, too.

Last month, Boxwish (a blog about movies) highlighted Aeron’s role in “The Ugly Truth,” a romantic comedy about romantically challenged morning show producer Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. When hardcore TV personality Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler) comes on the scene, he reveals the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick.

Although Boxwish claims Abby is a fastidious control freak, she has good taste—right down to her office seating: an Aeron chair, the Gadget of the Week.
