    Vitra Accessories Collection Developed by Vitra in Switzerland Update: Maison & Objet, September 2017 The Vitra Accessories Collection encompasses the growing portfolio of design objects, accessories and textiles produced by the Swiss furniture company. The collection is based on classic patterns and objects conceived by designers such as Alexander Girard, Charles and Ray Eames and George Nelson. In addition to these classics, it also includes pieces by contemporary designers like Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Jasper Morrison, Hella Jongerius and Michel Charlot. Authenticity, joy and playfulness are hallmarks of the Vitra Accessories Collection. For the autumn / winter collection of 2017 Vitra will expand its accessories portfolio with design objects by Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and George Nelson. Charles & Ray Eames Charles and Ray Eames are among the most influential designers of the twentieth century. Working with tireless enthusiasm, the pair explored the fields of photography, film, architecture, exhibitions, and furniture and product design, making landmark contributions in each domain. Plywood Elephant & Eames Elephant (small), 1945 In the 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames spent several years developing and refining a technique for the three-dimensional moulding of plywood, creating a series of furniture items and sculptures in the process. Among these initial designs, the two-part elephant proved to be the most technically challenging due to its tight compound curves, and the piece never went into serial production. A prototype was given to Charles's 14-year-old daughter Lucia Eames and later borrowed for the exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. It still survives in the Eames family archives today.

ENDELMAN Donald Chadwick Interview Pg.2 BARRY HURD: 00:00:34;24 Okay, tell us where we are and what goes on here. DONALD CHADWICK: 00:00:39;05 Well, this is a relatively new space for me. It's going on four years. And we're in Brentwood, California, which is part of West L.A. And we're actually on some property that I purchased about seven years ago. And was able to develop the property. And finally own my own space. Prior to this, I had rented, like most designers I suppose, warehouse spaces to work in. And this enabled me to pretty much control everything, and not have to pay rent anymore. And make a little investment in real estate. So I'm quite proud of the place. And I really like it. And it's nice to be within walking distance of the house. I don't have to get in the car and drive anymore. So I'm a product of the times now. I try to keep the driving to a minimum, and the walking to a maximum BARRY HURD: 00:01:36;12 Does having your own space like this, help you be more creative?

  • After Seven Decades Strong, Good Design Continues Its Iconic History Awarding the Best and Most Recognized Design Products Worldwide
    MORE INFORMATION Jennifer Nyholm Chicago, Illinois USA [email protected] EUROPE CONTACTS: Fachanan Conlon Dublin, Ireland [email protected] AFTER SEVEN DECADES STRONG, GOOD DESIGN CONTINUES ITS ICONIC HISTORY AWARDING THE BEST AND MOST RECOGNIZED DESIGN PRODUCTS WORLDWIDE The Modern Design Revolution Persists in a Steady Loud and Showy Innovative Pace as It Did at the Offset of the 1950s. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (MAY 25, 2020) — Seventy years ago, a group of die-hard advocates for modern design banded together to brand a novel marketing campaign to showcase and trumpet new American home furnishings, household items, and industrial objects with a revolutionary passion and zeal. Good Design® was founded in Chicago in 1950 by architects Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., director of the Industrial Design Department, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and professor of Architecture and Art History at Columbia University with the first installation of Good Design at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. The first Good Design exhibition was sponsored by The Merchandise Mart and The Museum of Modern Art, together with the Society of Industrial Designers, the American Institute of Decorators, the Home Furnishing Industry Committee, Neiman-Marcus, Lord & Taylor, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the American Institute of Architects. The Good Design exhibition opened at The Merchandise Mart on January 16, 1950 with the installation designed by Charles and Ray Eames. A reduced version of the exhibition, assembled by Eames, opened at MoMA in New York on November 21, 1950. This was the first time that a wholesale merchandising center and an art museum joined forces to present “the best new examples in modern design in home furnishings.” The program called for three shows a year: one during the Chicago winter furniture market in January, another coinciding with the June summer market in Chicago, and a November show in New York based on the previous two exhibitions.

July 2010 To navigate, click on the sections below— or the arrows at the bottom As an authorized HermanMiller retailer, you derive several benefits from our design heritage and brand recognition. It’s likely you already know this well because HermanMiller products are among the top-selling brands for many of our retailers. There are three key elements involved in building on the recognition of the HermanMiller brand: 1. The first element is how you associate your identity with your status as an authorized retailer. Examples on pages 3-4 illustrate how we want you to use the “Authorized HermanMiller® Retailer” phrase in relation to your identity. 2. The second element is the use of our logomark (stylized M in circle) and our logotype (the words HermanMiller). They should always be used in relation to one another. You’ll find more on this on pages 5-6. 3. The third element is the correct, clear, and consistent use of our trademarks. In Resources, on page 24, we provide a link to our current trademark list on hermanmiller.com. In the examples on pages 6-7, we indicate proper usage in ads that feature only HermanMiller products or several manufacturers’ products.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Yale SOM Case 14-020 Herman Miller
    yale case 14-020 december 15, 2014 (rev. february 10, 2016) Herman Miller Preserving and Leveraging Culture in a Strategic Shift Charles Euchner1 “Inspiring designs to help people do great things” Herman Miller mission statement Approaching his tenth anniversary as CEO of Herman Miller (NASDAQ: MLHR), Brian Walker found himself in a pensive frame of mind, reflecting on what had been accomplished during his tenure and on the future challenges ahead. It was the end of 2014, two and a half years since Walker had announced a major strategic initiative that he called “Shift.” The strategy would take the furniture company far from its roots in rural West Michigan, expand its product line, and develop more direct connections to consumers. Walker knew he was steward to a storied company with a distinctive place in corporate history. Through its emphasis on design, Herman Miller had been in the vanguard of the modernist movement in furniture and had become a leader in providing cutting-edge office fixtures. The company also set audacious goals to protect the environment and established a major institute on facility management. Through it all, the company culture honored the evangelical Christian values of West Michigan—in particular, the Reformed Protestant tradition embraced by its first CEOs from the De Pree family—to create a human resource system that celebrated the whole worker. Still, the furniture industry was subject to the ups and downs of economic cycles. Herman Miller had been hit hard by the recession that began in 2008, requiring layoffs and cutbacks in training that challenged the firm’s values-based, covenantal culture.
