ZEELAND, Michigan, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Global design
manufacturer Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLHR) today unveiled a new Aeron chair. The Aeron chair
first launched in 1994 and was unlike any chair the world had ever seen. Instead of a padded throne, designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick did away with foam and fabric to create a true
machine for sitting. Uniting human-centered design with Herman Miller's leadership in innovative
technology and materials, Aeron quickly became the best-selling and most recognizable performance chair of all time—with over 7
million sold in 134 countries, the chair is a vital tool for users around the globe and holds a rightful place in popular
culture.

Herman Miller's new Aeron retains the distinctive silhouette of the iconic chair, but every
component of the design has been updated to raise the bar for performance seating. With the input of original co-designer
Don Chadwick, and a dedicated team of scientists, engineers, materials specialists, and
researchers who worked on the project for over two years, Herman Miller has enhanced the chair by
combining the latest insights in anthropometrics and ergonomics with two decades of advancement in materials, manufacturing, and
technology. The resulting chair is recognizably an Aeron, but features stronger and smarter materials, better adjustment
capabilities, intuitive controls, enhanced aeration, and a health-positive, more comfortable sit.
Aeron now offers a completely new experience of sitting—with a reengineered tilt mechanism, adjustable PostureFit SL™ spinal
support, and groundbreaking 8Z Pellicle™ zoned suspension working in concert to deliver enhanced comfort. For individuals, the
chair accommodates the widest possible range of activities and postures people adopt while sitting—from intense upright focus to
relaxed contemplative recline. For organizations, cross-performance design makes Aeron suitable for a wide array of workplace
settings. The new Aeron performs better than ever before—so that a new generation of users and organizations can too.
With the introduction of the new Aeron, Herman Miller reinforces the company's worldwide
leadership in workplace innovation and high performance seating. The new Aeron chair will be available for both commercial and
residential users, in all markets where Herman Miller products are sold. The new chair is
available to order now in North America, Latin America and
Mexico, the Middle East, and Africa. It will be available in the United Kingdom and Europe in January 2017 and Asia in
February 2017.
