    THE HENRY FORD COLLECTING INNOVATION TODAY TRANSCRIPT OF A VIDEO ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH Donald Chadwick FEBRUARY 25, 2009 DON CHADWICK STUDIOS LOS ANGELES, CA ©The Henry Ford 2009 Interviewer: Barry Hurd PRODUCER: JUDITH E. 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? Does the muse appear more often here than at the old rented… Donald Chadwick Interview Pg.3 DONALD CHADWICK: 00:01:43;06 Well, you know, the process has changed over the years.

    July 2010 HermanMiller Retailer Brand Guidelines Retailer Retailer Brand Guidelines page 1 © 2010 Herman Miller, Inc. 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. On pages 7-8, we provide more information on trademarks in headlines and body copy. Retailer Brand Guidelines page 2 © 2010 Herman Miller, Inc. July 2010 2.

  • Herman Miller SAYL Chair Line
    Herman Miller presents SAYL a new family of seating by celebrated designer Yves Béhar. “It’s human nature to seek life unframed,” says Yves Béhar, designer of the new Herman Miller SAYL chair line. “People want to go beyond expectations. And they want that same unframed spirit in the objects they use and how they experience them.” That conviction guided him and the team at Herman Miller as they “grew” what became the family of SAYL chairs. Arriving at SAYL was a process of research and iteration. Béhar describes it as “draw, build, break, and repeat until you arrive at something unique” That process is familiar to Béhar, founder of fuseproject, a San Francisco-based brand and product design firm. Béhar, a regular collaborator with Herman Miller, is known for tackling big challenges and pushing the boundaries of technology and design in a cost efficient way. He calls this approach attainability and human-centered design. “If a project isn’t ethical,” notes Béhar, “it can't be beautiful, and if it isn't beautiful it shouldn't be at all.” Suspension Bridge as Inspiration Béhar began the search for SAYL with this question: Can the same principles that are used to suspend a bridge over water be applied to a chair? His goal was to enable an unprecedented sense of freedom for the sitter in a design that delivers the most comfort with the least materials. At the outset, a radical decision was made to approach the design process by considering what could be taken away from the design to allow it to do more.

  • “It Ain't Braggin' If You've Done It.”
    “It ain’t braggin’ if you’ve done it.” A Message from Brian Walker, CEO Fiscal Year 2006 L “It ain’t braggin’ if you’ve done it.” L Dear members of the Herman Miller community, Hall of Fame St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dizzy Dean was a real character. He’s remembered for many brash claims, one of which we’ve paraphrased on the front of this year’s annual report. It may seem a little pushy, but for me, it is an honest reaction to a great year at Herman Miller. Where do I begin to talk about last year? It was full of achievement—and the results of hard work on many people’s parts last year and in previous years. Since I really like saying thank you, I’ll enjoy the next few pages of this letter. I’m addressing “the Herman Miller community,” a group that includes employees, shareholders, customers, designers, salespeople, suppliers, dealers, contractors, and retailers. I’m thanking all of you. Of course the future is full of things we haven’t done yet—we won’t be braggin’ about them, but I will spend some time talking about our plans. Last year we talked to you about our strategy. We’re sticking to it. The bulk of our business lies in creating great places to work.

That’s a question you’re unlikely to ask; it’s one we never stop asking. We’ve been studying how people sit for more than 60 years. We turn that research-based knowledge into the best work chairs in the world. hermanmiller.com/seating Y INTRODUCTION Art & SciENCE OF SEATING CHAIRS MAtriX Advancing the Art and Science of Seating The search for the next advance, while incorporating innovations that have come before, has marked the Herman Miller problem-solving, person-centered approach to chair design for over 60 years. hermanmiller.com/seating Y INTRODUCTION Art & SciENCE OF SEATING CHAIRS MAtriX Advancing the Art and Science of Seating Eames Molded Plywood Chair Charles and Ray Eames, 1946 Charles and Ray Eames began experimenting with molding plywood in 1941 as part of their search for new ways to create three-dimensional forms. By inventing a new method for molding plywood, they found a creative use for a common material that allowed them to shape a chair to the contours of the body. It also set a precedent for always putting the person at the center of the design process. hermanmiller.com/seating Y INTRODUCTION Art & SciENCE OF SEATING CHAIRS MAtriX Advancing the Art and Science of Seating Ergon 3 Work Chair Bill Stumpf, 1976, updated 1988, 1995 In 1965, designer Bill Stumpf began researching how people sit at work.
