Herman Miller
Classic Furniture and System Designs for the Working Environment
John R. Berry
|
Herman Miller has produced icons of modern furniture and revolutionized office systems.
In 1936, the founder of Herman Miller, D. J. De Pree, committed Herman Miller to 'modern' furniture. The rest is history: their continuing collaboration with some of the giants of modern design has made Herman Miller synonymous with quality around the world. This brilliantly illustrated book examines the company's powerful contributions by looking at the problems that design can solve and how creative thinking can benefit the world.
A definitive history of design and the company's work since its founding, the volume features the legendary designs of Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Gilbert Rohde, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick and many more. It is essential reading for collectors, designers, professionals, students, and anyone with an interest in design.
John Berry was Vice President of Corporate Communications at Herman Miller for sixteen years, working closely with the Eames Office, George Nelson and other major designers.
