The Game That Brings Design Together
More Than a Game. A Celebration of Design, Movement, and Connection
Born from an unconventional idea, Aeron Hockey transforms the iconic Herman Miller Aeron chair into an unexpected arena for teamwork, creativity, and friendly competition.
What happens when the world of design meets the spirit of sport? A game where creativity moves beyond the studio, collaboration takes center stage, and even an office chair becomes part of an extraordinary experience.
- The Story -
A Different Way to Experience Design
Aeron Hockey is a unique office-chair hockey competition inspired by the iconic Aeron chair by Herman Miller.
What began as a playful idea evolved into an engaging team sport that brings together architects, interior designers, creative professionals, and businesses through a shared love of design.
The concept is simple yet unconventional: instead of running across a traditional hockey field, players sit on Herman Miller Aeron chairs and navigate the court on wheels, using hockey sticks to control and strike the puck.
But beneath its playful format lies a deeper idea. Aeron Hockey celebrates the qualities that define great design: movement, functionality, adaptability, and human connection.
It is a reminder that design is not simply something to look at or experience in a showroom. It can also be something to interact with, enjoy, and bring people together.

Bringing Aeron Hockey Back into the Spotlight
In December 2025, Rifyo introduced a new chapter of Aeron Hockey in Indonesia through Rifyo Design Days 2025, marking the occasion of its 13th anniversary.
Held on 13 December 2025 at the Town Hall, Indonesia Design District (IDD), PIK2, Tangerang, the event marked the first-ever Aeron Hockey competition hosted at Indonesia Design District.
More than just an anniversary activity, the competition was conceived as a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the relationships that continue to shape the design industry.
Eight teams of invited designers took part in the competition, navigating the court on Herman Miller Aeron chairs and putting their agility, teamwork, and strategy to the test.
The atmosphere was energetic yet welcoming. While teams competed for victory, the real highlight was the opportunity for designers to connect, share experiences, and enjoy an entirely different side of the creative community.
By introducing Aeron Hockey as part of Rifyo Design Days, Rifyo brought an internationally recognized design-industry experience into the heart of Indonesia Design District, creating a memorable moment for the local design community
