	A Work Chair Solution High-performance, long-term seating in three sizes with a full complement of adjustments and innovative suspension; for computer work, general office work, and casual or formal meetings. Ergonomic Support The PostureFit difference. This next-generation breakthrough provides natural, custom-fitted lower-back support below the beltline for healthier posture and outstanding lower-back comfort. High back. All three chair sizes have a high and wide contoured back that takes weight off the lower spine. Easy on the arms. Wide, soft armrests are sloped in the front. Waterfall front edge. Reduces pressure under the thighs so circulation isn't restricted.
Named "Design of the Decade" by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) and Business Week magazine.	For More Information:
Comfortable Suspension Healthful support. The strong Pellicle suspension system distributes weight evenly over the seat and back. Form-fitting. The Pellicle conforms to each person's shape and minimizes pressure. Aeration. Since air can pass through the Pellicle, the sitter stays cool and comfortable.	PostureFit is a research-driven ergonomic solution that can be used instead of lumbar support for a healthier posture and enhanced lower-back comfort. PostureFit represents a major ergonomic breakthrough in seating that delivers custom-fitted support where it's needed most: in the lower back area below the beltline.
	Natural Tilt Smooth ride. The Kinemat tilt lets people move naturally and effortlessly, from forward-leaning through reclining. In sync. The backrest and seat pan move in proper relation for correct support in all positions. Responsive. Whether the user is in motion or at rest, the chair spontaneously supports the preferred posture.
Aeron chairs are available with many new Pellicle and finish options; this chair features Pellicle Tuxedo with a Polished Aluminum finish.	For More Colors and Finishes:
Distinctive Aesthetics Inclusive look. Blends both classic and contemporary influences for a unique appearance that fits in wherever it's used. Pellicle choices. Three unique Pellicle weaves in a choice of neutral colors coordinate with lighter-scaled contemporary environments.
	These Aeron side chairs are in Titanium finish and Smoke frame which makes for a lighter, contemporary look and feel.
Design Story Herman Miller turned to designers Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf to design a totally new kind of chair. Chadwick's and Stumpf's previous collaboration had produced the groundbreaking Equa chair. The two designers began this development process with a clean slate, with no assumptions about form or material, but with some strong convictions about what a chair ought to do for a person. Ergonomically, it ought to do more than just sit there. It should actively intercede for the health of the person who sits in it longer than she should. Functionally, it ought to move and adjust as simply and naturally as possible. It should support a person in any position he cares to assume, at any task his office job serves up.
Anthropometrically, it ought to be more inclusive than its predecessors. It should do more than accommodate small or large people; it should really fit them.	Field studies measuring 224 people--a sample that was evenly distributed between men and women and that closely reflected the distribution of the U.S. population on most dimensions--found that of all the anthropometric dimensions measured, height and weight had the strongest relationship to chair size preference.
Environmentally, it ought to be benign. It should be sparing of natural resources, durable and repairable, designed for disassembly and recycling. The Aeron design was refined and validated through research and experts' opinions: - It was tested for comfort with scores of users, pitting it against the best work chairs available. - Leading ergonomists, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists evaluated the chair's fit and motion, the benefit and ease of its adjustments. - The design team conducted anthropometric studies across the country, using a specially developed instrument to calculate everything from popliteal height to forearm length.	- The research team did pressure mapping and thermal testing to determine the weight distribution and heat- and moisture-dissipating qualities of the Pellicle material on the chair's seat and back. - Field studies using a specially-designed measuring device examined the relationship between sizes of people and their preference for chair size (Dowell 1995b). Measurements of 224 people--in a sample that was evenly distributed between men and women and that closely reflected the distribution of the U.S.population on most dimensions--found that of all the anthropometric dimensions measured, height and weight had the strongest relationship to chair size preference. The relationship is strong enough to allow us to recommend one of the three chair sizes based on those dimensions. Made largely of recycled materials, the Aeron chair is designed to last a long time, with parts that get the most wear easily replaced and recycled. Just what you would expect in a well thought-out design.
