Aeron never stops

Aeron never stops. Introducing new colors and bold ideas to make Aeron Chair more supportive, flexible, comfortable, sustainable—you name it. No matter what size the idea—or the ideator—we’ll never stop supporting you. The Aeron Chair, from Herman Miller.

A pioneering design moves forward

Ergonomic to the core, Aeron was designed for all types of human bodies, thanks to extensive research of designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick. For decades, we’ve been perfecting it so that it’s not only good for your body, but good for our environment too. Aeron’s launch was revolutionary in the office furniture industry—and it continues to lead the charge, thanks to updated research, material innovation, and an iconic design that lasts.

Where comfort meets support

The Aeron Chair has been the benchmark for ergonomic seating ever since its debut in 1994. Since then, Herman Miller has learned a lot about how to best support people—and their postures. What has been incorporated into today’s Aeron Chair are all the technological and ergonomic enhancements that have been gained along the way: smarter weight distribution through 8Z Pellicle, adjustable PostureFit SL for total spinal support, and balanced recline and natural movement thanks to Harmonic 2 Tilt.

Sustainable from the start

Aeron’s material innovation is at the heart of its sustainability story—and a lesson in the major effects of dematerialization. The chair is composed of more than 50% recycled material—and in 2021, we added ocean-bound plastic to the chair. We’ve also increased the amount of recycled and organic materials in the chair’s composition. Not only is Aeron actively innovated upon, but it’s also naturally sustainable through its quality design, which keeps it out of landfills. So when we say Aeron is a lasting design, we mean it wholeheartedly.

Greater heights

The Aeron Stool offers user benefits not typically found in performance work stools: The footrest platform is three times wider than the typical footring and was designed to provide a large, comfortable area to support your feet. This reduces the pressure and resulting discomfort that’s usually created with a smaller footring. When you adjust the seat height, the footrest moves with the seat, so you don’t have to worry about having to readjust the footrest height as well. Treads along the footrest also ensure that getting in and out of the stool feels comfortable and easy.

Our Aeron lineup includes four colors inspired by the elements, three sizes, and two stool heights—something for nearly everyone.

Designed for the elements

Aeron is available in a palette of four meticulously curated material expressions centered on elements pulled from the earth. Onyx is a dramatic ultra-black shade intended to modernize Aeron. Graphite is a distinctive dark gray, with a classic textured finish. Carbon offers a balanced neutral that works equally well in warm and cool environments. Mineral is the lightest and illuminates Aeron's finer points, ideal for open floorplans and spaces. Each component of the chair was thoughtfully designed, creating a fundamentally harmonious color palette.
