Est. 1998 — 27 years of woodworking knowledge

Some crazy weather blew through Mount Level last night but fortunately I survived, so on to the question....
The design of this piece of furniture is fairly recent, but already a classic. In fact it's in the New York Museum of Mordern Art's permanent collection. It's made in three sizes. The size is indicated on the back with raised dots...3 dots being the largest.
What is it?

Re: software cloth
Don't know what that is but not what I seek. T.
Ok then....a hint....
Pellicle is an important component of this piece of furniture.

Re: Don't think...
you are speaking of the skin from a mushroom. As I SIT here at my COMPUTER watching HERMAN from the Munsters and drinking a cold MILLER.
Thanks for the question. Wuz there a wood connection here somewhere, Tommy, : ' >. OH, Ya, the price tag is a wood product, ; " >.
;-)
It's a furniture question you wise guy! T.
Answer
I myself am lucky to have one of these in my office at the Salt Mine. It's a Herman Miller Aeron chair. Designed in 1994 by Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. The design features a webbed fabric called "Pellicle" that is used instead of traditional upholstery. I have had mine now for 5 years and it's still the most comfortable desk chair I have ever had.
Dale gets today's Golden Uni but his will be a "scratch and dent" model because of his evil humor!
Re: Jeeessssss....
Well actually, the plastic stuff came from oil that at one time was plant material, wood plants, : ' >...
Too obscure again
My thought was that the Aeron was ergonomically designed by DC and BS for long hours at the computer, so it had a breathable cloth covering, not leather or upholstered, which didn't allow air circulation. The screned fabric in my mind is sort of like the mesh in hardware cloth but for computers, therefore, software cloth.
Ohhh...GOOD!!
Now I can give you credit and the Golden Uni and take it away from that wise guy Dale! ;-) Thank you for snatching Dale's defeat from the jaws of victory! ;-)
Just Kidding Dale.
