HERMAN MILLER AERON® CHAIR - CARBON
MIL-CARBON-AER1$924.00
Remastered by Don Chadwick, 2016
While its iconic form has remained largely unchanged, the Aeron® chair has been remastered from the casters up to meet the needs of today's work and workers. With the help of original co-designer, Don Chadwick, Herman Miller thoughtfully updated the chair based on the latest research around the science of sitting, and advancements in materials, manufacturing, and technology.
The new Aeron chair comes in 3 sizes and has a new 8Z Pellicle® material that delivers increased comfort and ergonomic support. Across the seat and back, 8 latitudinal zones of varying tension envelope the sitter, tightest at the edges and more forgiving where the body makes contact. The chair has pneumatic height adjustment and a balanced recline that lets the body naturally pivot at the ankles, knees, and hips.
Tilt options include a tilt limiter that allows the user to select the tilt range to limit the amount of recline; a tilt limiter and seat angle that allows the user to select the tilt range and a horizontal or 5° forward seat angle; or a standard tilt.
Back-support options include adjustable PostureFit® SL, an adjustable lumbar support, and PostureFit. The adjustable PostureFit SL support provides a custom fit in sacral and lumbar regions of the spine that helps achieve healthier posture and improved lower back comfort. The user can fine tune the level of support with an adjustable knob on the PostureFit SL.
Arm choices include a fixed, nonadjustable option; a height-adjustable option that moves the arms 4" vertically; a height-adjustable plus pivot option that moves the arms 4" vertically and pivots the armpads 15° outward and 17 1/2° inward; and a fully adjustable option that also allows the armpads to move forward and back.
Aeron is now offered in a range of 3 tightly curated, holistic material expressions: graphite, carbon, and mineral. Graphite refines Aeron's original color scheme for a crisp, sculptural appearance. Carbon blurs light and dark, and warm and cool, to harmonize with a variety of environments. Mineral illuminates Aeron's finer points to offer a lightness that borders on translucence.

Details to help you order
Sized to Fit
The Aeron Work Chair is offered in three sizes. The B size is the best fit for most people. The A size fits those who are smaller and lighter; the C size fits taller and heavier people. Anybody— from the 1st-percentile female to the 99th-percentile male—can find a perfect Aeron fit.
Tilt Adjustments
Easy-to-use comfort knobs have replaced levers for both tilt adjustments.
Standard Tilt - allows you to recline in your chair. The standard tilt does not offer any controls for the tilt function.
Tilt Limiter - allows you to set the angle where your chair will stop reclining. This means you can also lock your chair into an upright position.
Seat Angle Adjustment - allows you to move the seat of the chair into a forward tilting position. This slight forward angle is beneficial for those who like to sit upright or lean forward while working.
Arm Options
The new version of the Aeron chair has a softer arm pad for increased comfort.
Fixed arms are stationary.
Height adjustable arms move up and down by releasing the lever at the back of the arm, sliding the arm into your desired position and using the lever to lock the arm into place. The redesigned Aeron Chair arm has an improved mechanism that makes adjusting the height of the arms smooth and effortless.
Adjustable arms pivot from side to side while also having the height adjustment feature.
Fully Adjustable Arms slide forward and backward up to 2.5″. They are height adjustable and pivot as well.
