Office Mesh Chairs

Aeron – an office mesh chair

You may be concerned that an office mesh chair would not be as comfortable as a foam-filled and/ or material covered chair. In fact, the Aeron is an office mesh chair which is often described as ‘the most comfortable chair in the world’.  Its manufacturers, Herman Miller, were pioneers of the office mesh chair. They patented pellicle, a unique material made of a synthetic material called Hytrel, woven in a straight and consistent pattern.

Pellicle means breathable or permeable membrane. Air flow through the pellicle transfers moisture away, keeping the user’s skin at a more comfortable temperature than foam/ fabric seating.

The pellicle material has a two-way stretch, and conforms to each person’s shape, distributing body weight effectively across the seat and backrest.

The mesh is woven in a metric pattern to avoid tears and abrasion. Pellicle has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it won't rip or sag. Herman Miller are so confident of its durablility that they provide a five-year guarantee for this material.

The other good news about an office mesh chair as opposed to one made of fabric, is that the inevitable coffee spillages can be easily wiped clean. Thus your Aeron chair can remain in mint condition for many years.
