Kennedy sat on Hans J. Wegner\u2019s iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/blog\/the-chair-that-introduced-danish-design-to-the-world\/\">Round Chair<\/a>. The modern Danish design of the chair was a clever\u2014and intentional\u2014pick, for it represented faith in the future during a period when America was looking to elect a head of state who could turn the economy around and come up on top in the midst of the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in 2020, as the U.S. faces some of its toughest challenges in recent years, the presidential debate becomes an even more important night, a chance for each party to win the hearts of Americans with their platform. The Aeron chair that was chosen for moderator Chris Wallace and vice presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Mike Pence is a true American icon. Nicknamed the \u201cDot-Com Throne\u201d for its immense popularity in the Silicon Valley tech industry of the late \u201990s, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pergochairs.com\/product\/aeron\">Aeron chair<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/products?collections=%5B%22Herman%20Miller%22%5D&amp;brand_groups=%5B%22chanintr%22%5D\">Herman Miller<\/a> was one of the first task chairs to successfully implement a mesh seat. Today, it\u2019s the world\u2019s bestselling ergonomic chair and remains one of the best task chairs you can buy. Perhaps the Aeron Chair was chosen, then, for its positive all-American qualities: a sign of true American&nbsp; innovation with a Made-in-America badge from a world-renowned American company that\u2019s known for revolutionizing the way people work. At a time when the U.S.\u2019s power is dwindling, what other chair could represent American optimism as well as the Aeron chair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
