Good Design: Stories by Herman Miller

Good Design: Stories by Herman Miller explores the collaborative problem-
solving design process employed at the world-renowned and West Michigan-
based furniture company, Herman Miller, Inc. This exhibit uses drawings,
models, prototypes, photographs, oral histories, and original designed
objects to showcase the creation and evolution of many masterpieces
of 20th and 21st century design by such artists as Gilbert Rohde, Ray &
Charles Eames, George Nelson, Alexander Girard, Robert Propst, Steve
Frykholm, Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, and others.

Based in tiny Zeeland, Michigan, the company gave the world some of the
most iconic objects of the century: Charles and Ray Eames’s molded plywood
Lounge Chair, George Nelson’s Marshmallow Sofa and Bill Stumpf and Don
Chadwick’s Aeron Chair. Those works – and dozens of others – are at the heart
of this exhibit. For these legendary designers, it wasn’t enough for furniture to
be beautiful. It had to be practical. It had to make the workplace a better
place
