Revolution & Evolution - 5 Classic Aeron Colors Are Being Retired

It's only been five years or so since the Aeron chair utterly up-ended the office furniture world. Underscoring how much this revolutionary classic continues to evolve, Herman Miller has decided to retire five colors.

This gives us an opportunity to reflect on the impact this enduring design has had on the industry — and, more importantly, on the personal well-being of countless thousands of people around the world.

But retirement also means that if you were considering buying one or more Aerons in any of these colors, your window of opportunity is closing fast. Especially with a $50 discount attached.

Revolution by Design

In the 90s, Herman Miller wanted a work chair that was completely different from the standard fare of the day. So they hired the notable design team of Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf to design a totally new kind of chair.

A chair, as Herman-Miller is fond of saying, that should do more than just sit there:

• It should actively contribute to the health of anyone who sits in it for hours on end.
• It should move and adjust as simply and naturally as possible, supporting a person in any position he or she cares to assume.
• It should not only accommodate people of all sizes shapes, it should really fit them.
• It should be sparing of natural resources, durable and repairable, designed for disassembly and recycling.

The stunning result is now so much a part of our day-to-day experience that we begin to forget just how dramatically different the Aeron truly is. Phenomenal comfort and support without padding or upholstery? Were they kidding?

The original Aeron project generated more patentable ideas than any previous Herman Miller research program.

And they've been building on them ever since. Last year alone they introduced the gotta-feel-it-to-believe-it PostureFit module (which I'll never give up) and a bevy of new colors and pellicle fabric patterns that keep this classic as fresh and enduring as ever.

But it's also the nature of a family to see some members retire in the fullness of time. And for these five colors, that time is now.
