Designers and architects need not be left out of the ergonomic task chair movement: The Aeron Work Stool (2007) is for use in the home studio or anywhere a drafting table or café-height table takes the place of a desk. The Work Stool conforms not only to different body types but also to movement and the gravity of the sitter whose feet aren't planted on the floor. A waterfall edge, where the back of the knee meets the edge of the seat, reduces pressure under the thigh so circulation isn't restricted. The height-adjustable Fine Tune™ foot ring eliminates further pressure, this time off the back, to ensure comfort during extended sitting. The Pellicle® web upholstery evenly distributes weight over the seat and back and permits air circulation. The breakthrough Kinemat tilt enables the Aeron to smoothly move with the sitter from a forward tilt (when you reach for the phone) to a backward recline (while you contemplate what to say). As durable as its abbreviated counterpart, the Work Stool will look and perform like new long after you retire. Made from 66% recycled materials, this original is an authentic, fully licensed product of Herman Miller, Inc.
