“Sustainability—did we think about it much? We did, with the expectation that it had to do with longevity,” says designer Don Chadwick of the original Herman Miller Aeron Chair, which debuted in 1994—long before sustainability was as top-of-mind as it is now.
Today, Herman Miller has reengineered the chair with ocean-bound plastic, which will aim to divert 150 metric tons from the ocean every year. And like all our products, Aeron is designed to last. “A lot of people would say, how can you spend $1,000 on a desk chair?” Chadwick says. “But if you amortize that over the life of the chair, 20 years—I mean, I have one that’s from 1995.”

When the Aeron Chair debuted in 1994, its most obvious differentiator was its Pellicle, the first-of-its-kind elastomeric suspension used in lieu of traditional foam and fabric. Designers Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf worked with Herman Miller engineers on multiple iterations of the material weave until it both physically and functionally worked. From there, they collaborated with another local company that had come up with a whole new technological process for molding fabric to plastic called encapsulation. The results helped lead to the most innovative office chair in history.
As we celebrate the reengineered Herman Miller Aeron, now with ocean-bound plastic, they sat down to talk all things Aeron—and a half century’s worth of work—with the industrial design legend Don Chadwick.
Long before Don Chadwick designed the Aeron Chair with Bill Stumpf, postwar Los Angeles influenced his interest in material innovation, just as the design world at large shifted in the post-war technological boom. As Chadwick pointed out in a chat with WHY Magazine, George Nelson’s bubble lamps resulted from a warship technology called mothballing and the Eames fiberglass shell stemmed from an encounter Ray and Charles had with a plastics company making fiberglass parts for the aerospace industry. Even the concept of ergonomics was a study first applied to military pilots.
Herman Miller sat down with the industrial design legend to talk about where the industry has been, and where it’s going.

Explorers explore. It’s what they do. They have a vision, then set out to accomplish it. Their daring is what sets them apart — they muster the drive and courage to see it through. At APG, we believe in better. We see beyond the now, redefine what’s possible, then do what it takes to make it a reality. Because we believe that vision is what separates good enough from great. And our sights are on great.
Our Roots Run Deep
Our founders built APG on a dream that they could improve the lives of office workers. By providing engaging workspaces for users and flexible solutions for employers, they built a foundation on which we stand today.
Tom Alexander and Chuck Patterson began APG Office Furnishings in Cincinnati, Ohio, bringing revolutionary Herman Miller office solutions to the tri-state region. Within a few short years, they had secured contracts with major corporations across southwest Ohio.
To serve the needs of these Dayton-area clients, a showroom was opened in the Dayton area. Following growing demand, APG established a showroom in downtown Cincinnati in 1979. In 2005, ownership of APG is transferred to the Goins family, who immediately grew the company to include Cleveland and Akron markets. Additional growth to include a Memphis office in 2009 created APG as we know it today.
With a focus on delivering high-performance spaces, APG expanded product offerings further in 2018. Along with Herman Miller and a group of other certified dealers, APG invested in Maars Living Walls. This exciting partnership sets the team apart with innovative, flexible wall solutions that enhance client spaces.
Currently WBENC certified, APG takes great pride in our diversity and insightful expertise to help organizations see fresh possibility for their space.
