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. Jeff Weber & Bill Stumpf “I don’t dwell too much in the what is. I spend much more of my time thinking about what isn’t.” “We did not begin by attempting to design a chair; instead we went back to school, to get a better understanding of how people were working.” Herman Miller designers Jeff Weber and the late Bill Stumpf had an idea: what if a chair could be designed that went beyond merely minimizing the negative effects of sitting? What if a chair could be designed to positively impact your life so you could live and work better? Ergonomic research had demonstrated that our bodies and minds work best when they’re in motion because oxygen and blood flow more freely. What was needed was a new office chair that would build upon the ergonomic success of the Aeron and Mirra chairs, but would also literally offer support for your every movement. The Embody chair was designed first and foremost to move with you while maintaining ergonomic support. Weber and Stumpf theorized that rather than having to make large, sudden readjustments in your chair to relieve stress, the sitter could make more and smaller natural movements as frequently as needed, leading to an overall freedom from discomfort. “The exoskeletal form of Embody was inspired by the human spine, so we thought, why not make the chair’s covering behave like skin?” The breakthrough design of the Embody represents the rematerialization of the work chair, offering a synthesis of the finest of foam and mesh technologies, and is a showcase for Weber and Stumpf’s overall goals of providing health-positive comfort to the users of their chairs. |
