About Herman Miller
Herman Miller is a highly recognized company that offers solutions to various home and business needs through their excellent and well-designed office furniture.
The company is a leading designer, developer, and problem-solver in the furniture industry.
It is also praised for the highly innovative and ergonomic design principles that the company applies in the design and structure of its products.
Herman Miller has been a long time provider of home and office furniture and their design principles has become nothing short of a legend in the furniture industry.
Herman Miller has been around for more than 70 years.
Its focus on innovative and excellently designed furniture sparked during the 1930s when designer Gilbert Rohde officially joined Herman Miller.
During this time, the company focused on providing consumers with furniture that extends beyond what they are used to.
The company came up with revolutionary designs for furniture that answered even the unrecognized needs of consumers.
At this point in time, the company still banked more on its home furniture lines.
Herman Miller produced simple, straightforward, and fully functional home furniture that stood in stark contrast with the highly ornamented period furniture common during that era.
Gilbert Rohde's vision of a more compact and less embellished society was the main factor that led Herman Miller, Inc.
to what eventually became the central selling point of the company's products.
By 1960, with the leadership of George Nelson after Rohde, and the entrance of top designer Robert Propst into the Herman Miller scene, the company continuously flourished, and so did the very culture of its design pieces.
However, it was also during this time that information work flourished in the society, and office work became the most common occupation.
To respond to the changes of the times, Herman Miller shifted its focus from providing home furniture to providing office furniture.
In an effort to help businesses improve productivity and provide comfort and satisfaction for workers, the company, under Propst leadership, went on to produce ergonomically designed office furniture under the Action Office system.
The Action Office system is one of the central factors that contributed to the success and fame of the Herman Miller name.
The Action Office system focused on the use of vertical space and economic designs.
A lot of office furniture that can be found all over the world today still have their basic design principles founded on the Action Office system.
Now, Herman Miller Inc.
has brought its expertise to the fore of furniture design.
Designing revolutionary furniture such as the Equa and the Aeron Chairs, the company has provided solutions for the emerging needs of consumers.
The Aeron Chair eventually won the IDSA and Business Week "Design of the Decade" award and is a consistent bestseller in the office furniture market.
In the same fashion, Herman Miller also strengthens its dominance in the industry as it produces the Resolve system, another breakthrough product from Herman Miller, Inc.
in partnership with popular Turkish designer Ayse Birsel.
The Resolve workplace system consisted of functional and optimal workstations that have set the standard of what the 21st century workplace should be like.
