Fun Facts About Herman Miller

Noteworthy Products from Herman Miller

Take your pick of top-design products from the Herman Miller furniture line. Our favorite is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman. This timeless classic, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, was released in 1956 after years of experimenting with molding plywood. Originally, the chair had a veneer of Brazilian rosewood on top of five thin layers of plywood. Today, the Eames Lounge Chair remains an iconic Herman Miller chair and uses natural cherry, walnut or Santos Palisander rosewood (a sustainably grown wood with patterns similar to the original rosewood).
