How did Charles and Ray Eames know they had met their goal of designing the most comfortable chair ever?

Herman Miller has a new home in London: Visit our store and showroom at 20 St John’s Square, in the heart of Clerkenwell.

In 1953, when Herman Miller founder D.J. De Pree said, “We will be a good corporate neighbor by being a good steward of the environment,” he set the company on the path to sustainability. As part of that journey, we regularly revisit our products when we see opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint. The most recent example is a new plant-based upholstery option for the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman that helps us reduce the materials carbon footprint of the chair by up to 35 percent. The chair and ottoman join other designs we’ve been able to make more sustainably, including Eames Molded Plastic Chairs, now made from 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic, and the Aeron Chair, now made with ocean-bound plastic.

Now available for the first time in white oak, Eames Turned Stool was originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1960 for three lobbies in the newly constructed Time-Life Building at Rockefeller Center in New York. While Charles and Ray envisioned a variety of shapes for Eames Walnut Stool, as it was first known, Herman Miller commercialized only three of them. In 2023, we added a fourth Eames shape and renamed it Eames Turned Stool for the woodturning process used to make it. All four stool shapes are available in the new white oak, as well as in walnut and ebonized ash: https://lnkd.in/g2yKinZj © Eames Office , LLC.

Introducing Eames Turned Stool in white oak—the first time the stool has ever been offered in a light finish. For anyone who has long admired the stool’s design but prefers the more contemporary look of a lighter wood, it’s a refresh that’s worth the wait. All four Eames shapes are now available in white oak, ebonized ash, and walnut: https://lnkd.in/gSyGidni Eames Office | Available from Herman Miller in the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Africa.

It’s been 75 years since the Nelson Daybed was first introduced, and while the concept was not a new idea, George Nelson’s versatility in both form and use—a hallmark of his style—certainly was novel. Cushions are removable, you can sit or lie down, it works as well in a bedroom as it does an office, a living room—even a nursery. “Design is a response to social change,” he once said. The daybed is still in production today, a testament to Nelson’s talent for timeless design: https://lnkd.in/gffUicmn

George Nelson first met Herman Miller’s founder, D.J. De Pree, over dinner in November 1944. The two men couldn’t be a more unlikely pair: Nelson was a New Yorker who ordered ice-cold martinis; De Pree, a small town Midwesterner who drank tomato juice. De Pree knew Nelson by reputation via an article that Nelson had co-authored in Architectural Forum, all about his “Storagewall” design. From there, they forged a prolific partnership with Nelson as Herman Miller’s new director of design. George Nelson & Associates produced a stunning range of products over the firm’s 25-year tenure with Herman Miller: the pop-art Marshmallow Sofa, a not-so-basic cabinet series, a versatile daybed, bubble lamps, sexy sofas, the list goes on. And Nelson was instrumental in expanding the role of outside designers at the heart of the company (a tradition that his predecessor, Gilbert Rohde, had established). “I can’t have all the ideas,” he once said to De Pree. Nelson would introduce Herman Miller to Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, and Alexander Girard. “Herman Miller allowed designers to help shape its policies and direct its energies in a manner virtually unique in American industrial design,” he wrote in an introduction to the landmark 1975 Walker Art Center exhibition “Nelson, Eames, Girard, Propst: The Design Process at Herman Miller.” Nelson’s role as Herman Miller’s design director was just one of the many hats he wore professionally: architect, writer, teacher, amateur photographer, provocateur. He put into practice the idea that designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding—or, as he put it “nothing more or less than relating everything to everything.” Learn more about George Nelson and the indelible mark he left on Herman Miller and modern design: https://lnkd.in/gVv4sm2D
