Choosing Your Herman Miller Aeron: Refurbished Edition

The Herman Miller Aeron is one of the most iconic office chairs in the world, setting the benchmark for ergonomic seating since its launch in 1994. Built with human centred design, the Miller Aeron offers superior comfort, breathability, and support in mind. The Aeron chair has become a staple in offices, home workspaces, and creative studios across the globe.

However, a brand-new Aeron chair comes with a hefty price tag, making it an investment not everyone can justify. That’s where opting for a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron becomes a smart choice. Purchasing a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron chair allows you to enjoy the same top-tier quality at a fraction of the cost while also making an environmentally sustainable choice. Each chair is expertly restored to perform like new, reducing waste and extending its lifespan without the environmental impact of manufacturing a new chair.

Buying the right refurbished Herman Miller Aeron for you

When selecting a used Aeron chair, four key factors should be considered: chair size, model (Classic vs. Remastered), adjustability and ergonomic features, and colour and aesthetics.
