Herman Miller Classic vs Remastered
The Aeron Chair was succeeded by the Remastered version in 2017, leading to the end of Aeron Classic production, but the latter remains a design icon with retained value, and collectors still prefer it; whereas, the Aeron Remastered, with six significant changes, represents a modern leap in ergonomic insights.
