This is not the sort of rhapsody that normally comes with spending long hours in front of a computer. The Aeron breathes, thanks to its taut, mesh fabric. Its frame is made of recycled soda bottles.

The Aeron is also about glamor, power, and art. And it has a place in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. Bosses worried about morale and rented digs with big windows and exposed brick. They bought Foosball tables and stocked the office refrigerator with sparkling water. And they bought chairs so comfortable they'd make the average banker or middle manager weep.
