Miller Office Chair

Admin October 09, 2026

The Miller office chair mainly includes two models: the Sayl Classic and the Aeron. Here is a detailed introduction:

Sayl Classic

  • Size and Compatibility: It is relatively small in size and can accommodate people as short as 1.55 meters. For those with a relatively petite build, it is a suitable choice that can well meet their usage needs.
  • Backrest Design: It features an integrated single-back design, which provides a good sense of wrapping around the lower back and offers relatively comfortable support to the user. The backrest supports a forward-tilt function. However, when adjusting the forward tilt, the chair should be kept in the open (reclined) position. The forward tilt can be adjusted and fixed using the front lever. At the same time, the rocking can be reduced by adjusting the recline resistance, allowing the user to maintain a relatively stable state after adjusting to a suitable forward-tilt angle.
  • Lumbar Support Situation: There is an optional lumbar support at the back of the chair, but according to relevant feedback, its effect is not significant. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose it to avoid unnecessary expenses.

Aeron

  • Style and Color: It is available in a graphite-colored medium size, with a certain degree of recognizability in appearance.
  • Design Features: It adopts a zoned support design, which can better fit the human body curve and provide precise support to different parts of the body, enhancing the comfort of use.
  • Size Parameters: The seat depth is 46 - 46cm, the seat height is 45 - 56cm. It is recommended for those with a calf length of 41 - 52cm, an applicable height of 160 - 185cm, and a headrest height of 63 - 75cm. These detailed size parameters can help users determine whether this model of chair is suitable for their physical conditions.
  • Development History and Influence: Launched in 1994, it replaced the leather and thick cushions of traditional executive chairs with mesh fabric and a distinct engineering feel, which was innovative. After the rise of Internet companies, it became a typical symbol of Silicon Valley tech companies, representing to a certain extent the office style and culture of tech companies. For example, DJI purchased Herman Miller Aeron chairs with a retail price of over ten thousand yuan four years ago, which also reflects its position in the high-end office chair market.
