Design

The design of the Aeron chair did more than just fulfill the design criteria. It did not look like or behave like any office chair ever designed before.

Chadwick and Stumpf designed one chair, available in three sizes to fit everybody from the 1st-percentile (female) to the 99th-percentile (male). The B size chair is designed for the largest group of people on a Gaussian Chart, the 50th-percentile or the mean. The A-size chair, which adjusts lower than the other two are designed for smaller people and the C-size chair with the larger size seat and backrest is designed for larger people.

The majority of the Aeron Chair is made of recycled materials and is designed to last a long time. The parts that get the most wear are easily replaced and recycled.

The designers deliberately tried to make their chair look different than any other type of office chair on the market. If you examine the chair you will notice that it contains no straight lines. The designers have pointed out that the human form has no straight lines it is biomorphic. Their intentions were to create a chair that was also totally biomorphic.
