Herman Miller revolutionized office furniture with the introduction of the Aeron Chair in 1994. The Aeron set a new standard for comfort and flexibility in a desk chair, and spurred other manufacturers to achieve equal heights. Today, the Aeron has been joined by a host of imitators, as well as new office chairs that marry comfort, ergonomics and space-age looks. After polling industry observers, we've picked 10 noteworthy examples; any would be worth considering when
buying a home office chair.
The first--and in many minds, the best--of the new breed of stylish, comfortable, ergonomic office chairs, the
Aeron was introduced in 1994 and is still going strong. This "status" chair of the 1990s comes in three sizes to fit different body types, and features a breathable mesh seat and back and excellent adjustable lumbar support (making it good for people with lower back pain). The Aeron lists for $1,076, but is widely available for less.
