The Aeron chair is a Herman Miller product designed in 1994 by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. Its design has a spot in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
In April 2010, Business Week published an article which cast doubt on the ergonomic benefits of the Aeron chair. The article includes comments from Don Chadwick, who says he wasn't hired to design the ideal product for an eight-hour workday; he was hired to update Herman Miller's previous best-seller. "We were given a brief and basically told to design the next-generation office chair," Chadwick said.
Famous quotes containing the word chair:
“I had a chair at every hearth,
When no one turned to see,
With ‘Look at that old fellow there,
‘And who may he be?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
