Bad Backs is licensed to sell the HermanMiller® Chair range in NSW, VIC & WA. Launched by Herman Miller in 1994 the Aeron® revolutionized the seating market, gaining immense popularity. Created by designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, the concept of the Aeron was a breakthrough in ergonomics, versatility, style and looks for office chairs. Stumpf and Chadwick deliberately designed the Aeron to be like no other chair. They replaced foam and fabric with Pellicle®, a breathable, custom-fitting material and used science to achieve new levels of comfort and support. The innovative PostureFit® provides adjustable sacral support to promote optimal posture for people of all sizes doing all kinds of activities, all day long. Available in three sizes, Aeron fits people of all statures, adapting and adjusting to them throughout the day. Its wide range of material and finish options makes it welcome in spaces from formal to contemporary. You won’t find anything else like it, anywhere.
The Aeron chair didn't end up in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection just because it looks cool. Although it does, its looks are only the beginning. Aeron accommodates both the sitter and the environment. It adapts naturally to virtually every body, and it's 94% recyclable. Even if it's black, it's green. The high, wide, contoured back takes the pressure off your lower spine. Armrests slope slightly down in the back for the most natural and comfortable support. The "waterfall" front edge of the seat takes the pressure off your thighs, so your blood keeps circulating and you stay alert and focused. The patented Kinemat tilt mechanism lets your neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles pivot naturally. The Aeron chair moves effortlessly with your whole body, as if your body were telling the chair what to do. Lead time approx 2 weeks depending on your location and day of ordering.

Active adjustments give people control over their own comfort and support. Green was built into the Aeron chair from the beginning of the design stage. Over half of each chair is recycled materials, and almost the entire chair-94%-is recyclable. Certified to MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver, Aeron is GREENGUARD certified and can contribute to LEED certification. Recyclability 66% recycled content and is 94% recyclable A modest, but fundamental, design addition, PostureFit is part of what makes Aeron so comfortable to sit in, even for hours and hours on end. PostureFit supports the way your pelvis tilts naturally forward, so that your spine stays aligned and you avoid back pain Aeron’s Kinemat® tilt allows the body to pivot naturally and simultaneously at the ankles, knees, and hips for smooth, proper support in any seated position. Because continuing research has shown that many people are sitting upright and forward, Aeron offers the PostureFit®. It provides custom-fitted support at the lower back that promotes proper alignment of the spine for a healthful, comfortable posture.
Aeron is the only chair with Pellicle® suspension, a unique material that conforms to the body and distributes weight evenly over the seat and back for truly customized support. Air circulates through the Pellicle, keeping the sitter comfortable by preventing body heat build-up. Each of the available Pellicle patterns delivers the same unique level of custom fitted support and breathability. Aeron chairs come 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. Please refer to the PDF sizing chart to find the most appropriate size for you. All Widths include arm.

I pretty much always say, “Don’t. It’s different if you buy a new upholstered Eames Fiberglass Chair from Herman Miller. You’re in luck with those because they have removable, recyclable upholstery pads—the first of their kind in more than 40 years. Unfortunately, vintage Eames owners do not have this option. So why do I suggest a patch? First, no matter how talented the upholsterers are, they usually don’t have access to the same equipment as Herman Miller workers. Even if they did, they usually don’t have the training and years of experience working with this unique upholstery. If they do have the skill set, re-upholstery is labor intensive and expensive.
Another reason to patch a vintage Eames chair is that it is congruent with the practices and beliefs of Charles and Ray Eames. In an interview towards the end of Charles’s life, he said it was always his dream to have “well-darned socks.” Darned socks are socks with holes that have been re-sewn, usually a very noticeable repair. They function just as well as new socks. Carla Hartman, Eames Office Education Director and eldest Eames grandchild, tells a similar story about Ray: Two matrons were standing behind her at a cocktail party. Thinking they were out of earshot, one whispered to the other, “Oh, look at that patch on Ray Eames’s cape. You’d think with all of the money Mr. Eames makes, he would buy his wife a new frock.” Well, he could, but he didn’t. The design duo didn’t believe in throwing away things they liked. They believed in repairing goods and continuing to use them. There is an ancient Japanese aesthetic philosophy called wabi sabi that relates to this idea of embracing the imperfect.
