No modern office chair here, also because it would not integrate too well with the rest of the furniture in the living room. 
Got a tip for us?

That's what I have. I replace it every 12 months because it falls apart
i also have that chair. i bought it a few days ago.
it does the do for me
Aeron!
i sat in a chair very similar to that, which just might be the same one, it was very comfortable!
love this chair! looks comfy,stylist and relaxing to sit i could sleep there when i get tired
wish i could have one !
Another Aeron lover here....I have one at work and home....had the one at work for years...went through a bunch of cheap junkers at home and finally splurged (much cheaper than retail from ebay) a couple years ago....best chair for extended sitting I've ever had.
There was an Aeron as an auction item at a campus fundraiser while I was a marketing intern. I knew nothing about Aerons at all, but I sat in the chair, and instantly fell in love. I was in the market for a new chair, so I asked where they got it. They told me it was an Aeron, and that they run $700+, and that in no way will my income from my measly internship afford a quality chair such as that. Throughout the event I would sit in the chair and just quiver in happiness.
I have something sorta like this:
It was made by novimex (says the label on the bottom), and I got it at either OfficeMax or Staples (I can't remember, except there was a rebate they never gave me for it -_-).
When I first got the chair, I was upset at the lack of rebate because it made it a $120 chair. Thing is, that was about 7 years ago (maybe 8?) and despite the leather getting worn out and the seat cushion not being as cushy as it used to be, the chair is still more comfortable than anything my familymates have purchased otherwise (mostly manager's chairs that cost $50-60).
I can't complain, because I went through a bunch of desk chairs before that - the kind with the separate back that's attached to the bottom with an L shaped piece of metal always broke at the screw and then started digging into the seat because I like sitting back. I had an exec chair too before that, and it broke at the arms because the idiots that made it didn't put metal inside the plastic arms and the back weighed a ton!
Odd, even the cheapest $30 'leather' chairs you can get at CVS have metal reinforcements in them! Those are actually pretty well built for $30, lol.
That said, it does look sorta beat up but everyone likes my chair and I just haven't felt the need to replace it. Hehe. I wish I could afford an Aeron chair, but that's just way out of my budget. Perhaps when I'm an engineer!
My tables are even older, I think I purchased them in 2002 - StudioRTA made them way back then (I know, right?!) and I have yet to see that kind of build quality in anything they've made since then.
The glass is a wonderful 5/8" thick variety that weighs a ton, and the tables are specced to hold 80lbs (I know, not a ton, but still pretty good).
The blue ones you see in my other setup pics sometimes are also made by StudioRTA (I have those in my vacation house), and they aren't nearly as good - a bit too small and nowhere near as comfortable to sit at IMHO, on the other hand they look cool and the build quality is still decent. I suppose I should've said I just didn't care about the materials lol.

I bought one for my recording studio and my wife freaked when she seen the price
It's the most comfortable chair I ever sat in. Peace
I have an IMG "large" windsor chair. It actually reclines (like a lazy boy) and the pillow for the head can be adjusted. It is the best combination of office chair and lounger I was able to find. I listen to headphones in the room quite a bit, so the chair is perfect for my needs:
My desk is a "Bush SERIES C:RIGHT L-BOW DESK". I needed somthing to hold my 42 inch HDTV that did not get in the way of the closet door, have room for my headphone stuff, and still be able to work when needed. I have the 25.5 inch monitor up on an Ergotron MX LCD Mount.
I have a Sanus NF206 rack for audio equipment, storage, hard drives, etc..

My helpful office workstation desk:
That's the kind of desk I want at the moment. Very nice and lots of space. I also like the way you have the monitors layed out. Very cool indeed.

I love that chair. It feels comfortable just looking at it. I also dig the workstation.
Love the media rack. Seeing the old Nintendo sitting there on top makes me want to play Super Mario brother III right about now.
The chair is as comfy as it looks. We went out to buy a coffee table and I came home with the chair instead.I love that chair. It feels comfortable just looking at it. I also dig the workstation.

I actually have the Nintendo hooked up to the 42 inch display. I still love those old games!! The setup also has an HDMI feed from my living room system, so I can use the monitors with the PS3 (works nicely thanks to blutooth) or AppleTV (use my iPad as the controller).
I actually considered getting an open design style of desk, but with all the cables I have running to the receivers, speakers, monitors, etc...I thought it might look like a rat's nest.

i just got one of these.
but in a black color. Took a little bit to adjust to my sitting position, but once I figured it out, it is a very comfortable chair for the home office.
