The Aeron chair is a product of Herman Miller, designed in 1994 by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. It is an ergonomic chair which is expensive but which many regard as extremely comfortable. The chair became an unintended symbol of the rise and fall of the dot-com.

The chair is not upholstered. Instead, the seat and back are made of a strong but semi-transparent and flexible metal mesh called a pellicle.

There have been numerous lower priced copies made by other manufacturers, so the only real way to be sure you have an Aeron in front of you is to look at the label.
