I've been using the SecretLabs Titan chair for a few months and am very happy with it. May be larger than you're looking for. https://secretlab.co/collections/titan-series

I have one and it's a terrible chair.

The seat is too high, even at lowest setting. I had to raise my desk on blocks so I could cross my legs under it, which is just wrong because tables and chairs have standard heights so this shouldn't happen.

I'm 175cm and my feet barely reach the floor. had to add a foot-stool.

The arm rests are too far apart, I need to spread my arms wide to use them.

The seat cushion is hard and rises up near the front, cutting off circulation to the legs.

Posture is all wrong, my back and bottom start hurting after a while and I'm constantly shifting positions to relieve the stress.

A terrible, terrible chair.

We have a couple of secret labs titans here as well...

Awesome chairs, and have held up perfectly for 3 years now. People complain the cushions are 'hard' but that's because they actually support you rather then just compressing to nothing. The one thing I did do was add some slip on cushions to the plain plastic arm rests.

The hard cushion was causing me circulation issues. The problem was solved when I bought a foot rest to avoid the back on my knee touching the sharp end of the cushion. I bought one of those footrests that look like a foam cylinder cut in half. Very comfortable.
Nice! They really are great chairs :-)
I have personally owned an Aeron, my employer uses the Herman Miller Celle, which is also very nice. For COVID WFH, I bought a Secretlabs Titan, and am very happy with it. I am a tall person though. They make a smaller model as well.
I would second this - my parents bought them as well after trying mine (Dad got a Titan, Mom got an Omega)! I've been using it for about a year now and have no complaints at all. Great lumbar support too.
