“What works good is better than what looks good because what works good lasts,” Ray Eames once said. In fact, along with George Nelson, she and Charles urged Herman Miller owner D.J. De Pree to create a space where designers could experiment on product prototypes and in 1958, a permanent Technical Center was built. Decades later, the current Test Lab looks and sounds different, but its commitment to testing quality remains the same. In today’s lab, our ergonomic chairs are bent backward, spun around, prodded, and poked—and then given a pass or fail, all to guarantee the chair’s 12-year warranty.

Every 32 seconds, an Aeron Chair comes off the line. Since every Aeron is built by hand, how is that even possible?

Thanks to a production system set in place in the mid-90s, we figured out how to make small improvements along the way that have continued to add up. With over 9 million Aerons sold since its launch in 1994, that’s a lot of time and energy saved. While it might last just a moment on the production line, an Aeron will last you hundreds of thousands of those moments in its lifespan.

When Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick designed the Equa Chair in 1984, they knew people didn’t just stop moving as soon as they sat down. In fact, it was marketed as the chair for people who can’t sit still. So how do you promote a chair on the move? Take a look at this video we made to celebrate the launch 42 years ago—breakdancing, eccentric set design, and early CGI.
