Research and testing on design of the Aeron chair. - kajalthak - 08-18-2014

Substantial research and testing went into the designof the Aeron chair.

The Aeron design was refined and validated through research and experts' opinions:

It was tested for comfort with scores of users, pitting it against the best work chairs available.

Leading ergonomists, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists evaluated the chair's fit and motion, the benefit and ease of its adjustments.

The design team conducted anthropometric studies across the country, using a specially developed instrument to calculate everything from popliteal height to forearm length.

The research team did pressure mapping and thermal testing to determine the weight distribution and heat- and moisture-dissipating qualities of the Pellicle material on the chair's seat and back.
