AERON - Key Persons
The office chair Herman Miller Aeron is a well-known office chair during the tech era of the 21st century. However, few people know that the Aeron office chair is based on the designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick to create furniture for the elderly. The Herman Miller Aeron office chair was launched in 1994 and quickly became a hit with its $ 1,000 purchase cost. Aeron quickly gained a lot of attention in Silicon Valley, among other places, where the office chair was seen in everything from newspapers to TV series.
Herman Miller hired Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick in the late 70's when the company wanted to start making better furniture for the elderly as the population rapidly aged. The result was Sarah Chair, a chair that had upholstery but with mesh fabric instead of a wooden form. In this way, the seating surface was better shaped depending on who was sitting in it. Sarah Chair did not go home to Herman Miller, there was no store that sold exclusive furniture to the elderly and the designers left the company. But after a while Herman Miller resumed contact with Stumpf and Chadwick to give the chair a new try, after 2 years of work, Aeron was finally ready. Herman Miller, however, worried about Aero's unusual and strange appearance at the time, it turned out that it was one of Aero's biggest selling points, that it was different! A brand new Herman Miller Aeron rolls off the belt at the factory every 17 seconds! Herman Miller is a very "green" furniture company. Herman Miller works actively to reduce its emissions and manufacture furniture that is factory-made furniture that can be recycled. Herman Miller Aeron is 94% recyclable, which means that the refurbished / used Herman Miller Aeron is among the greenest desk chairs on the market!
