The Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Herman Miller Aeron Chair - Graphite

 

Love it or hate it, the Herman Miller Aeron chair was the first ergonomic chair to meet widespread success.

While the Aeron remains an icon of the era of dotcom excess, its design transcends time. The chair's innovative mesh surfaces and high level of adjustability have inspired a host of imitations.

If you're interested in purchasing a Aeron chair, but have a tight budget, there are a number of alternatives to a big ticket .

Bottom line? Don't get fancy. New basic black chairs can be had for as low as $600. Custom colors and fabrics can quickly run prices into the stratosphere.

If you absolutely must have an Aeron at the lowest possible price, watch the auctions, both on- and off-line. Keep an eye out for dotbomb liquidations and corporate sales.
