Herman Miller Aeron Chair
Behold the game changer. Introduced in 1994, the Aeron Chair revolutionized the world of office chairs by being the epitome of ergonomics. It has been immortalized so many times in movies and TV shows as the office chair of choice. It’s so important—it is the chair which every other one is measured—as well as beautiful that it has been given a permanent spot in the Museum of Modern Art. But there’s more! This icon of a chair has just been recently remastered. With the help of its original co-designer Don Chadwick, the Aeron Chair has been updated to apply the latest information on health and posture as well as advancement in technology.

Xten by Pininfarina
Trust the Italians to combine style with substance. Nicknamed “The Ferrari of Chairs,” the Xten was designed by the very same people who gave the Prancing Horse—as well as Alfa Romeo and Maserati—its signature good looks. But more than flash, this chair is also high in ergonomic points. Certified by ERGOCERT—Europe’s standard for ergonomic engineering, this chair has Dynamic Synchronized Tilting Movement which lets the back and the seat tilt independently of one another at complementing angles. Furthermore, its lumbar support can be adjusted to the height of the person so that it would hit just exactly at the right spot.

It cleverly adapts to the user’s movement and has easy to find and easy to use controls. The Leap Chair also has its own Natural Glide System that makes it possible for the user to recline while being easy on the eyes, neck, and arms.
