Herman Miller Aeron Office Chairs

Aeron Chairs by Herman Miller

The Herman Miller Aeron office chair is the one that forever changed the seating industry. In 1994, legendary designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick took on the challenge of creating an office chair that not only has the comfort you desire from an office chair but also has health benefits as well as being environmentally sensitive.

An Office Chair Like No Other

They achieved what they set out to do – they created a chair that was unlike any ever created before and was considered unrivalled by all competitors. However, at the time, no other chair looked quite like the Aeron, and people were very sceptical at first. Before long, people started to come around and realise Stumpf and Chadwick managed to create the Aeron chair which demonstrated a leap in ergonomics and material innovation. One of the first successful office chairs to be produced using materials other than foam, fabric and leather, the Aeron revolutionised the seating industry.

Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick’s plan was to create a chair that made people realise that a chair isn’t just something to sit in, it could actually be something that is working to make you healthier while you complete your day-to-day work. The Herman Miller Aeron encourages active movement in the office and provides support when needed for all users.

In 2016, Chadwick returned and along with  Herman Miller thoughtfully updated the Aeron office chair based on the latest research around the science of sitting, and advancements in materials, manufacturing and technology.

Herman Miller have learned a great deal since the launch of the original Aeron chair about how best to support people in the varied postures they adopt throughout the work day.  Herman Miller incorporated two decades of technological and ergonomic enhancements to improve the health-positive design of the remastered Aeron and with a wider  range of performance. The Aeron now has a more refined tilt mechanism, adjustable posture fit SL back support and pellicle mesh seat and back.

8Z Pellicle Specifications

The suspension seats and back on Aeron chair are made from Herman Miller’s 8Z Pellicle range of textiles. Used across the various colour options available for the Aeron, this includes Black 23105 (Onyx), Carbon 23102, Graphite 23103 and Mineral 23101.

Here’s a closer look at what makes this textile stand out:

Content

This textile is composed of 56% elastomeric and 44% polyester, giving it a perfect blend of comfort, flexibility, and durability. The elastomeric fibres bring a bit of stretch, which allows the fabric to adapt nicely to movement—great for furniture that needs to feel comfortable and resilient. The polyester, meanwhile, adds robustness, helping it withstand everyday wear and tear.

Abrasion Resistance

The Wyzenbeek abrasion rating of 200,000 double rubs is impressive and indicates how well this fabric stands up to wear. To put it simply, a double rub measures the fabric’s resistance to repeated friction (think of how your favourite sofa endures everyday sitting, shifting, and sliding). For context, a typical household fabric might only need around 15,000–30,000 double rubs, so 200,000 means it’s ready for high-traffic, heavy-duty use.

Lightfastness

Rated at Grade 4 for 160 hours, this textile offers solid lightfastness, meaning it holds up well under exposure to sunlight. In practical terms, it means the colour is resistant to fading and should keep its original look even in brightly lit areas.

Flammability

Safety is a top priority, and this fabric passes key fire safety standards like CA TB 117-2013 and NFPA 260. These certifications ensure the fabric is more resistant to ignition, so it’s suited for both residential and commercial spaces with fire safety requirements.

Sustainability

On the eco front, this fabric checks many boxes. It’s PFAS-free (avoiding the controversial “forever chemicals”), PVC-free (better for the environment), and FR-free, meaning no additional flame retardants. It’s also certified SCS Indoor Advantage Gold for good indoor air quality, making it a safer choice for spaces where people spend long periods. Furthermore, it’s LBC Red List Compliant, meaning it avoids chemicals deemed harmful in the built environment. In short, this is a more responsible fabric option!

Performance and Warranty

Finally, with a 12-year warranty and the ability to handle over 100,000 double rubs, this textile is built to last. It’s a great long-term investment that’ll stay comfortable and looking good for years.

Overall, this textile is not only designed for heavy use but also prioritises safety and environmental responsibility. A fantastic option for those wanting durability without compromising on safety or sustainability!
