A chronicle of the rich history of this innovative furniture company, from its founding in the early twentieth century to today
For more than 100 years, Michigan-based Herman Miller has played a central role in the evolution of modern and contemporary design, producing timeless classics while creating a culture that has had a remarkable impact on the development of the design world. Ten chapters and thousands of illustrations tell the Herman Miller story as never before, documenting its defining moments and key leaders – making Herman Miller: A Way of Living an indispensable addition to the bookshelves of design-lovers around the globe.
The book, which features thousands of images, coincides with an exhibition (opening 19 May) that will take place at Herman Miller’s flagship store in NYC through the summer.
“I’m here in New York installing, what I think is, one of the biggest exhibitions of materials from Herman Miller’s that’s been mounted—at least since the Walker Art Center show in the ’70s,” Auscherman tells us. “We pulled hundreds of items from our own archive—a lot of graphic design posters, ephemera, catalogs and artifacts that are all being installed. It’s kind of like the book in real-life in a way.”
