Description
New Colours! Introducing Jasper and Nightfall - two new bold choices for an icon!
The Aeron Chair uses 8Z Pellicle mesh suspension — a breathable woven material that conforms to the body and distributes weight evenly without the heat buildup of foam cushions. PostureFit SL supports both the sacrum and lumbar spine, tracking your natural movement rather than holding you in a fixed position. The Kinemat tilt mechanism lets your ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders pivot naturally as you move.
Available in sizes A (petite), B (mid-range), and C (larger frame). Designed by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick; remastered by Chadwick in 2016. Part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.

FAQ
What are the three Aeron sizes?
Size A is for smaller frames (roughly 5'0"–5'7"), B is the most commonly chosen mid-range fit, and C is for larger frames (roughly 6'0" and above). Seat dimensions, back height, and arm spacing all differ by size. Herman Miller's online size selector uses height and weight as a guide.
What is PostureFit SL?
PostureFit SL uses two independently adjustable pads — one for the sacrum, one for the lumbar — that support the pelvis in its natural forward tilt. This keeps the spine stacked rather than slumping, reducing lower-back fatigue during long seated sessions.
What warranty does the Aeron Chair carry?
Herman Miller's 12-year warranty.
Can Aeron be used without foam cushions?
Yes — Aeron uses 8Z Pellicle mesh suspension in place of foam entirely. The mesh conforms to your body, distributes pressure evenly, and promotes airflow. No foam option or add-on is available.
Designer
Bill Stumpf
US, 1936 - 2006
"I work best when I'm pushed to the edge. When I'm at the point where my pride is subdued, where I'm innocent again. Herman Miller knows how to push me that way, mainly because the company still believes—years after D.J. De Pree first told me—that good design isn't just good business, it's a moral obligation. Now that's pressure." - Bill Stumpf
William Eugene "Bill" Stumpf was a designer for Herman Miller who helped design the Aeron (with Don Chadwick) and Embody chairs (with Jeff Weber). It was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where Stumpf, working with specialists in orthopedic and vascular medicine, conducted extensive research into ergonomics, specifically in the way people sit.
Stumpf's association with Herman Miller began in 1970 when he joined the staff of the Herman Miller Research Corporation. After establishing his own firm in 1972, Stumpf created the Ergon chair, the first ergonomic work chair. Later, in collaboration with Don Chadwick, he produced the groundbreaking Equa and iconic Aeron chairs. He also was principal designer for the Ethospace system.
During his lifetime, Stumpf—a key figure in Herman Miller's transformation into a research-based, problem-solving innovator—received numerous awards for his work. He was named the winner of the 2006 National Design Award in Product Design, an award presented posthumously by the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Stumpf died in 2006.

Don Chadwick
USA, 1936
Don Chadwick was born in 1936 in Los Angeles and developed an interest in furniture making from his grandfather, a cabinetmaker. He studied design at the University of California, Los Angeles. It was there that he began to focused on furniture. After hearing Charles and Ray Eames lecture, Chadwick was convinced that furniture design offered designers the chance to use materials in new, innovative ways and to make a real difference in people’s lives.
He founded his own practice in 1964 and his work includes Chadwick Modular Seating, the Spark Chair, the Equa 1 Chair and the Aeron Chair that he designed with Bill Stumpf in 1994 for Herman Miller. Stumpf and Chadwick were awarded the Industrial Designers Society of America Design of the Decade Award for the Aeron Chair in 2000. Recently, Chadwick revisited the Aeron Chair, and worked with Herman Miller for nearly two years to update almost every element of the chair.
