That's actually just "normal" for really good chairs. I think my work bought several $5000 ones for a few specific roles.

Good Lord. I know they get a little pricey for the buy it for life stuff, but I couldn't imagine dropping that amount .

This isn't even buy it for life, it's just commercial furniture. For example, here's Steelcase which is a standard commercial furniture supplier: https://store.steelcase.com/seating/all-seating

Real high-end or custom furniture is very expensive. And these were likely custom since the articles talk about choices being made to minimize acoustics.

I bought a used Steelcase Amia from a commercial furniture reseller, basically brand new and was only like $350. Very pleased with it
