Herman Miller Mirra at my co office/lab, Herman Miller Aeron at client co office/lab.
Previous client used to have the cheap padded VDU user chairs which got very hot in summer in an office with no air con.
I got mine from a local secondhand office furniture place that also advertised on ebay for ~£300.Comment
