Golly, Dan, come over to the new Gateway building - there's tons of the real
Aerons, one of which my butt is sitting on, right now as I write this! :o)
This is the new building I'm in, and all the waiting room and lunch room
furniture is Herman Miller - I don't know any of the particular design
names, (save for this chair) but I was pleasantly surprised to see it all as
being very late-60's modular airport-terminal looking, much to the dismay
of nearly all my co-workers. I have heard every complaint in the book, from
it looking "outdated" (!) to plain old "ugly". When I pipe up that I like
it, they usually look me up and down and say "you would." If I point out
"but it's a Herman Miller!" I am met with blank stares. Oh well. We also
have completely mirrored elevators and dizzying brown and tan checkered
carpet - quite unnerving first thing in the morning. Ugh.
