Herman Miller Aeron Chair

The library just got 20 Herman Miller Aeron chairs in the group study rooms and the difference from the old plastic seats is immediate, like going from a bus seat to a car seat. Mesh back lets air through so you don't stand up with a sweaty shirt after a 3-hour study session. A dial adjusts the lumbar support and takes 2 seconds to find the right position. I want 1 for my apartment but they are $1,400 new, which is a number that makes you reconsider how much you value your back. Designed in 1994, it still looks current. Is wild for a piece of office furniture because most chairs from that era look like they belong in a dentist's waiting room. Every part of it exists to make sitting easier, from the waterfall edge that reduces pressure on the backs of your thighs to the armrests that move in 4 directions. It earns every inch of counter space it takes up, and the form is honest about being a tool for the body rather than decoration for a room.
