Even Icons Have Bad Days
When Herman Miller launched the Aeron in 1994, critics hated it. "The ugliest chair ever made." "Too weird." "Mesh won't be comfortable." The radical design—no padding, all mesh, fully adjustable—was too far ahead of its time.
But the engineering was sound. The Aeron became the icon it deserved to be, setting the standard for ergonomic seating for 30 years.
Great design doesn't always get recognized immediately. Sometimes... sit happens. But quality endures. That's why we give these chairs a second chance—and why you should too.
