One of Paola Antonelli's first acquisitions for MoMA’s permanent collection when she became design curator, the Aeron also became a status symbol in Silicon Valley, visually synonymous with the optimism of the dot-com boom. The Aeron underwent an ergonomic tweak in 2016 but largely still retains its original design although Aeron'snew Onyx colourway, made with plastic waste diverted from the ocean, offers the same comfort with more sustainability.
