Gruber's comment here is a bit ingenuous:

"Don Chadwick is the designer behind both the Aeron and the Chadwick. The Chadwick is the one he put his name on."

The Aeron was a collaboration between Bill Stumpf and Chadwick. They'd worked together on chairs before for Herman Miller (Equa chair, 1984 & Sarah chair, 1988). I'm not sure Bill would have appreciated naming any of these chairs "the Chadwick."

Bill Stumpf was an extremely talented industrial designer. He passed away at age 70 in 2006. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/10/obituaries/10stumpf.html http://www.hermanmiller.com/content/hermanmiller/english/pro...

It's also worth reading some of the backstory on the creation of the Aeron chair: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671789/the-untold-history-of-ho...

Yeah, I like the implication that the one with his name is better because of that, even though it's meaningless.
