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:
“Come leave the loathed stage,
And the more loathsome age,
Where pride and impudence in faction knit
Usurp the chair of wit:
Indicting and arraigning every day,
Something they call a play.
Let their fastidious, vain
Commission of the brain,
Run on and rage, sweat, censure, and condemn:
They were not made for thee, less thou for them.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
