"To make his Sound/Chair, designer Matthew Plummer-Fernandez started with a 3D plot based on the volume, time and frequency of a short piece of audio.

He then fed the data into a computer-controlled water-jet cutter, which carves the body of each individual chair from a block of Polyethelene foam (the original prototype was hand-cut by the designer himself)."

I'm not a fan of the Aeron, and have actually just bought a competitor the Haworth Zody which should hopefully be delivered soon. It's similar, but I found it more comfortable.
