Herman Miller Chairs Australia

Filter

    Herman Miller has been making the case for ergonomic design since the 1940s, and the Aeron, Embody and Cosm are the chairs most often used as the benchmark others are measured against.

    Which Herman Miller chair

    The Aeron Remastered is the one most people mean when they say they want a Herman Miller. Its 8Z Pellicle mesh and PostureFit SL sacral and lumbar support suit long sitting days in warm rooms, and it comes in three sizes rather than a single adjustable shell. Getting the size right matters more than any other decision with an Aeron — it is sized on height and weight together, across three frames — so read our Aeron size guide first, and our Aeron review for what the chair does, what it does not do, and who it suits. Herman Miller offers four different back supports on the same chair, and our guide to PostureFit SL versus the adjustable lumbar pad explains which is which and how to tell them apart.

    The Embody takes a different approach, with a pixelated support layer designed to distribute pressure and encourage micro movement, and it suits people who find mesh too firm. The Cosm is the one to look at for shared desks and hot desking, because its Auto-Harmonic tilt requires no adjustment at all. The Mirra 2 sits below all of them on price and is the most underrated chair we stock — it is the only one of the four with an adjustable seat depth, and our Mirra 2 review sets out who it suits and who should walk past it.

    Genuine stock, and a 12-year warranty we service ourselves

    There is a lot of counterfeit Herman Miller sold online in Australia. Ours is genuine Herman Miller product, brand new, and you are welcome to sit in it at our Pyrmont showroom before you buy. It is supplied as an international parallel import, which describes the supply route rather than the product: the chairs are the real thing, sourced outside Herman Miller's authorised Australian channel, so the cover on them is our own 12-year Chair Dinkum warranty rather than Herman Miller's. It runs across the frame, mechanism, gas lift, base, armrest structure and mesh, it is handled here in Sydney on 02 9640 0642, and the full terms are on our warranty page.

    We have written all of that out at length: Herman Miller in Australia — what parallel import actually means, and who warrants your chair. Worth ten minutes before you spend two thousand dollars.

    Which Herman Miller chair should you buy?

    Start with how you sit. If you sit for eight hours and run warm, the Aeron Remastered is the answer most of the time: the 8Z Pellicle mesh keeps you cool and the PostureFit SL pads support the sacrum and lumbar separately. It comes in three fixed sizes, so read the Aeron size guide before you order. If you are between sizes or want an adjustable seat depth, the Mirra 2 fits a wider range of bodies in a single size and costs less. If the chair will be shared, the Cosm needs no setup at all, which is why it works in hot-desking offices. And if mesh has never felt comfortable to you, the Embody uses a foam and pixel support layer instead. Our Aeron vs Cosm vs Embody comparison goes deeper.

    Parallel import, price and warranty explained

    Our Herman Miller chairs are supplied as international parallel imports. That describes the supply route, not the chair: it is the same genuine product, brand new and sealed, sourced outside the authorised Australian channel, which is why an Aeron is $2,150 here against an authorised RRP of $2,785. Because of that route, Herman Miller's own registration does not apply and the cover is our 12-year Chair Dinkum warranty instead, handled in Sydney on 02 9640 0642 across the frame, mechanism, gas lift, base, arms and mesh. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply on top. We have written the full explanation here: Herman Miller in Australia: parallel import, price and warranty.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a Herman Miller Aeron cost in Australia?

    At Chair Dinkum the Aeron Remastered in Graphite is $2,150 including GST, against an authorised-dealer RRP of $2,785. Mineral is $2,330, Onyx is $2,340, and polished aluminium bases are $2,630 to $2,640. Every Aeron we sell is the full PostureFit SL specification with fully adjustable arms.

    Are Chair Dinkum's Herman Miller chairs genuine?

    Yes. They are brand new, sealed Herman Miller product supplied as parallel imports, and you can inspect any of them at our Pyrmont showroom before you buy. There is a lot of counterfeit Herman Miller sold online in Australia; the simplest protection is to sit in the chair first.

    Which Aeron size should I choose?

    Herman Miller sizes the Aeron by height first: Size A suits roughly 147 to 163 cm, Size B 157 to 183 cm and Size C 178 to 198 cm, with Size B recommended for anyone on a boundary. Weight is a ceiling rather than a bracket, at 136 kg, 159 kg and 181 kg respectively. Our Aeron size guide works through it, or ring us on 02 9640 0642.

    What is the difference between the Aeron and the Mirra 2?

    The Aeron has a firmer mesh, PostureFit SL sacral and lumbar support and three fixed sizes. The Mirra 2 has a softer Butterfly Suspension back, a smoother Harmonic 2 tilt, an adjustable seat depth and comes in one size that fits most people. The Mirra 2 is lighter, cheaper and the better pick if you shift position constantly; the Aeron is the better pick if you want maximum support and a chair you set once.

    Which Herman Miller chair is best for hot desking?

    The Cosm. Its Auto-Harmonic tilt reads the sitter's weight and responds without a tension dial, so a different person can sit down every day and the chair is already right. That is the specification that matters in shared and activity-based offices.

    Who provides the warranty, and what does it cover?

    Chair Dinkum does, for 12 years. Because the chairs are parallel imports, Herman Miller's manufacturer warranty and serial registration do not apply; in their place we cover the frame, tilt mechanism, gas lift, base, armrest structure and suspension materials ourselves, assessed here in Sydney. Full terms are on our warranty page, and the Australian Consumer Law applies in addition.

    Do the chairs arrive assembled?

    Yes. Every Herman Miller chair ships fully assembled in protective packaging from our Sydney warehouse. Open the box, place it at your desk and sit down.

    Can I try a Herman Miller chair before buying in Sydney?

    Yes. Our Pyrmont showroom at 1/209 Harris Street has the Aeron in all three sizes, the Mirra 2 and the Cosm set up side by side. It is open Monday to Friday by appointment on 02 9640 0642.
