Herman Miller History

Founded in 1923 and recognized today throughout the world as an innovator in office and residential furniture design, Herman Miller has been ranked since 1986 among the top ten in Fortune Magazine’s annual list of the 500 most admired companies. Their pioneering research into producing environmentally responsible furniture has earned them GreenGuard Indoor Air Quality certification for most of their products. Aesthetically, many of Herman Miller’s iconic designs, particularly from the 1940s and 1950s, are valuable collector’s items and on permanent display in museums such as the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Smithsonian Institution.

In 1933, new furniture designs created by Herman Miller designer Gilbert Rohde exhibiting the smooth lines and unembellished shapes of the emerging mid-century modern furniture style were exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair. In 1944, Rohde’s successor George Nelson designed such enduring icons as the Platform bench, and was famously responsible for teaming the company with such influential design artists as Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi and Charles and Ray Eames. Charles Eames, widely regarded as a genius in contemporary furniture design, produced one of Herman Miller’s most successful products in 1956, the elegant Eames Lounge chair. In 1994, Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf introduced a new office chair called Aeron (derived from the word aeration, which describes how the mesh suspension promotes comfort), which became an immediate worldwide success and earned a spot in the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as well. Today, Herman Miller continues to attract world-famous designers like Jeff Weber, Jerome Caruso, the Studio 7.5 Design Team in Berlin, Yves Behar, Mark Goetz and many more.

If the purpose of design is to solve problems, and the relationship between design and business is synergistic, then Herman Miller today continues to be in the vanguard of design as a fundamental part of strategic planning.

Kaiju Studios

“I always think about the people who will be using the products. I feel a responsibility to give them what they want and need, not necessarily what they expect.”
— Ayako Takase

When Ayako Takase and Cutter Hutton founded Kaiju Studios in 2001, their goal was to in their words, “create meaningful products and experiences through poetic simplicity, creative thinking and elegance in function and form.” Both graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, the pair has worked with numerous international clients on a wide range of projects, from products and furniture to graphics and interactive design.

In the conceptual stage of the design of their graceful Airia™Desk for the Herman Miller Company, Takase, Hutton and designer Christopher Specce sought to provide simple, intuitive solutions to the problems people face in their home office: wire management and desk organization. The sleek lines and sculptural walnut frame of the Airia combine visual elegance with discreet functionality, making it a streamlined solution for home office applications. The Airia Desk was honored with a 2008 Good Design™ Award.

Kaiju Studios creates designs with the environmental impact of their products in mind, and are members of the Designers Accord, a nonprofit coalition of designers, engineers and researchers focused on promoting awareness of sustainable design.
