yeah... my first thought was 'orange? really?' It just seems like they are going to look very dated in a few years. I mean, I kindof like the look of the aeron, but part of that, I'm sure, is that I came of age during the dot-com, when they were super cool. I'm still kinda disappointed in myself for not getting one at a dot-com closeout. That would have been... appropriate.
I have a few '70s steelcase chairs... they are not bad chairs, they are still in pretty good shape and work okay, but the avocado green is... avocado green.
I think the color choices selected and used for their website is more to highlight the chair design and not actually a color people would choose themselves.
We just outfitted a conference room in my office and they selected a color that I've dubbed "poopacado."
