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:
““Peace, woman,” Mr. Crawley said, addressing her at last. The bishop jumped out of his chair at hearing the wife of his bosom called a woman. But he jumped rather in admiration than in anger.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
