About Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick
Between Bill Stumpf’s flair for function and Don Chadwick’s
eye for elegance, the two possessed all of the right components
to create revolutionary, identifiable performance chairs.
They started with the Equa® Chair designed for Herman Miller
in the 1980s. In the 1990s, Stumpf’s deep understanding of
ergonomics, Chadwick’s rich feel for aesthetics, and Herman
Miller’s rigorous research and engineering power delivered the
Aeron Chair – a seat that became synonymous with comfort
and recognised for its dematerialised design. Using his and
Stumpf’s initial criteria for the Aeron Chair, Chadwick is the
sole designer to work with Herman Miller on the new Aeron.
