		<description><![CDATA[The collection celebrates the design talent of yesterday and today, bringing together longtime Eames fans, Rolf and Mette Hay, and the designs that inspired them. Zeeland, Mich: Herman Miller, in collaboration with Danish design brand HAY, today unveiled the Herman Miller x HAY Collection — a 21st-century reinterpretation of eight beloved Eames mid-century classics. Featuring new, inspired color palettes and updated materials, the collection is a powerful combination of original, timeless design with a contemporary point of view. It also serves as a full-circle moment for HAY founders Rolf and Mette Hay — lifelong admirers of modern design, Herman Miller, and the Eameses. “Herman Miller is built on a legacy of risk taking and creative collaboration,” says Ben Watson, President, Herman Miller. “With this collection, HAY thoughtfully reimagines Eames classics in a forward-thinking, first-of-its-kind collaboration. A unique vision of color, the evolution of thoughtful materials, and a beautifully interconnected story of design partnership harnesses the enduring spirit of Herman Miller.” In anticipation of HAY’s 20 th anniversary in 2022, Herman Miller approached Rolf and Mette with a flexible provocation: What could the two design brands do together that they could not create alone? The answer: a fresh take on the original [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During this period of self-imposed (or governmental) quarantine many see this as a logistical nightmare and others are having their flexible work dreams realised. Many, I imagine, may also be sat at home thinking “careful what you wish for.” Meme such as “I use to sneak out of my house to go to parties and now I sneak out of parties to go home” are being replaced with “when you try to work from home” meme featuring Professor Robert Kelly when he was being interviewed live on BBC. Working from home (WFH) will present for many an array of challenges that you will be either consciously or unconsciously aware of. This article is a two-part series and addresses a number of ergonomic issues that you may want to be taken into consideration now that you’re working from home. Ergonomics or Human Factors is the study of interactions among humans and other elements of a system with the intent to optimise human wellbeing and overall system performance. (International Ergonomics Association). To help us understand the human system we can break ergonomics down into 3 parts: – Physical – Cognitive – And Social The way these elements work together creates an ‘ergonomic system.’ This article will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During extensive research, Herman Miller’s research team identified that we fundamentally have 6 needs that need to be met for their health and well-being… I have regularly talked about these in relation to designing and managing workplaces. However – these fundamental needs still apply with many people now working from home. What are you doing to make sure these needs are being met? Achievement We strive for excellence and take pride in our accomplishments &#8211; Achievement is strongly linked to a desire to not only take responsibility for our own work, but also to receive recognition for reaching the necessary standards. Motivation to achieve is at its greatest when the goals are attainable. A sense of achievement correlates with self-esteem, productivity and performance. Autonomy We seek freedom in our actions and decisions &#8211; Autonomy or independence within our sphere of work is connected to job satisfaction and commitment to the organisation. More recently autonomy is the freedom to decide which tasks we will tackle, in which order and in which way, rather than simply on content. So, it might mean taking the time out to think about a project or having the space to discuss an idea with colleagues. However, autonomy must be balanced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How to help your teams stay productive and collaborative Written by Ryan Anderson, VP of Digital Innovation at Herman Miller Five Ways to Help Remote Teams Succeed Understanding the challenges of helping everyone stay connected and engaged. Use web meetings sparingly and rely on tools that keep you connected throughout the day. Make sure important conversations and decisions include remote team members. Get creative with ideas for socialising digitally. Regularly check in with team members and establish outcome-driven performance metrics. Are you new to managing a remote team? I’ve had the chance over the last decade to manage several and to study remote work with some very insightful colleagues from leading tech companies. Based upon those experiences, here are my five best suggestions to get started on the right foot. Understand the Challenge Managing remote work is an inclusion challenge. People are usually quite capable of doing their individual work from anywhere. But the real challenge is helping team members connect, be heard, and feel a sense of purpose and belonging. It’s your job as a manager to help people stay grounded in the bigger picture of what you’re trying to accomplish, and to feel like they are part of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is the perfect accompaniment to a home office. Why focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health is a must Written by Rebecca Greier Horton, Workplace Well-Being Knowledge Lead at Herman Miller Self-care has been a hot topic in 2020. And now, given the fact that many of us are working from home, it’s even more important. How do we look after our mental, emotional, and physical health while trying to manage the challenges of working remotely? When it comes to WFH, comfort is key. Take time to set up an ergonomic home office. This will help prevent the musculoskeletal disorders that can occur when you work on a laptop for long periods of time, and it will increase your cognitive engagement. So, where to start? Light It Up Select a spot where natural light is your primary light source. Research indicates our sleep cycles and even our hormones are positively affected by this. If your setup is near a window where you can let the fresh air circulate—even better! Police Your Posture Remember that bad posture still counts when you work from home, and that how you sit today will shape your body forever. It’s [...]]]></description>

Both companies bring years of design and engineering expertise in their respective fields, and combined will address the needs of e-sports athletes, gamers and Internet streamers. “At Herman Miller, we have a rich history of designing solutions to support people wherever they live and work,” says Tim Straker, Herman Miller’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re excited to combine our ergonomic, research-driven approach with Logitech G’s excellence in technology and innovation.

Celebrated for its sophisticated ergonomic design, the Cosm appears to be simplicity itself, yet it took a decade of form-making, engineering and testing to achieve the support, comfort and aesthetics this revolutionary chair offers today. The Cosm has already received numerous awards – this year, it scooped the Green Product Award and the Red Dot Best of the Best Product Design Award in the ‘Office Chairs’ Now TIME magazine has named the Cosm as one of the 100 Best Inventions of 2019, among a slew of inventions that change the way we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Nominations across a variety of categories were solicited by editors and correspondents across the globe and also online, with each contender scored for factors like originality, effectiveness and influence. The prestigious list honours innovative thinking across disciplines, with the Cosm one of only three items recognised in the Design category. What makes the Cosm so special?

		<description><![CDATA[ZEELAND, Michigan - Herman Miller, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLHR), the global designer and furniture manufacturer, announced today it has acquired the remaining shares of contemporary British furniture designer naughtone for approximately $46.1 million. Solidifying its ownership of naughtone directly aligns with Herman Miller’s strategic priority to accelerate profitable growth. Herman Miller partnered with naughtone in 2016 by acquiring a 50 percent stake in the company to help enhance its global offering in ancillary and collaborative furnishings, an area in which Herman Miller saw significant growth potential. As a result of this partnership, naughtone has generated average annual sales growth of 35 percent over the past three years. This partnership has helped Herman Miller expand its product design and development capabilities, fueling 11 new product launches and leading to numerous design and innovation awards. &#8220;naughtone has been a vital strategic partner in growing Herman Miller Group’s ancillary product offering,&#8221; said Andi Owen, Herman Miller President and CEO. &#8220;I’m so proud of our shared values, as well the modern aesthetic and contemporary British design they bring to our family of brands.&#8221; Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, naughtone was founded in 2005 and has grown rapidly in the collaborative furniture market under the leadership [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The revolutionary design demonstrates that, even as the family of brands adds product breadth, Herman Miller continues to offer depth. Designed by Berlin-based Studio 7.5, Cosm is Herman Miller’s first task chair with an automatic tilt. It also has the industry’s first suspension armrest. Initially revealed in Milan during Salone Del Mobile 2018, the chair will be available for order worldwide later this summer. To experience Cosm is—as Studio 7.5 says—to forget gravity. And now people can have that comfort and support no matter how many settings they sit in throughout the day. As more organizations move toward shared workplaces and workpoints, and people enjoy the freedom to choose the setting based on the work they need to do, one thing hasn’t changed: the need for ergonomic support. Cosm offers exactly this consistency, providing unparalleled comfort and performance, making it not only great for individuals, but also the ultimate shared chair. Cosm rapidly adjusts to whomever is sitting in it using its hidden “engine,” the Auto-Harmonic Tilt™—a culmination of two decades of design research and engineering that further deepened Herman Miller’s understanding of how people sit and work. Auto-Harmonic Tilt Hidden in Cosm’s gearbox beneath the seat is the technology that gives the feeling of balance and comfort. The Auto-Harmonic Tilt instantly and automatically provides [...]]]></description>
