Herman Miller

Résumé du livre

"A classic book on the company that blends accessible, problem-solving furniture design with high style, innovation, and integrity. Herman Miller is the leading global furniture-maker of modern design. This updated and revised edition of the 2004 classic examines the company's powerful contributions by looking at the problems that design can solve and how creative thinking can benefit the world. Aside from having produced icons of modern furniture, Herman Miller has revolutionized office systems and furniture in the workplace. In this book, John R. Berry communicates very clearly the qualities that have made the company -- founded in 1905 as Star Furniture -- special. Foremost among these qualities is a commitment to design. A definitive history of design and the company's work since its founding, Herman Miller features the legendary designs of Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Gilbert Rohde, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, and many more. It is a must-read for collectors, designers, professionals, students, and anyone with an interest in design. The updated edition has three added chapters on new designs since 2004, including the new Embody chair, Convia, the leaf light, the Creative Office and Herman Miller for the Home, along with an additional fifty photographs." --
