What is it with recording studios & the Herman Miller Aeron chair ?

It seems that just about every video you see on Youtube these days, whether it be of a studio tour or a how-to video by {insert well known mix engineer / mastering engineer / recording guru here} there almost always is a Herman Miller Aeron chair conveniently being sat on, in the background or somewhere in shot.

Recording Studios in the L.A. area

This is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone has any specific recommendations for recording studios and engineers in L.A.?
I'm looking to record a nice demo with my band on the cheap, and I know that more expensive doesn't always mean better as much as it does "more popular" when it comes to studios.
