    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.

  • George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Designer, Writer, Architect, Nelson: George 
    Family Guide Explore the exhibitions George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher and Jill Downen: COUNTERPARTS with your child. Look closely at the artworks to see all the details included by each artist, but please remember to be careful and not touch the art or gallery walls. Parents, use the questions in bold to guide your children through the exhibitions. George Nelson: Architect, Writer, Designer, Teacher celebrates the birth of this iconic American designer, who would have turned 100 in 2008. Organized by the Vitra Design Museum to commemorate this occasion, the exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective of Nelson’s work. Jill Downen: COUNTERPARTS, the third installment of the NEW FRONTIERS Series for Contemporary Art, exhibits approximately ten architectural sculptures combining human anatomy with the constructed environment. Through her work, Downen invites viewers to reevaluate architectural space in relation to their body and encourages them to achieve a greater awareness of self in that space. (LARGE) TENDON ON PALETTE, 2009 The pieces in the exhibit show the artist’s touch and the transfer of energy from her own body. It is this direct imprint—from smoothing, sanding, scraping, chipping, and scaring—that gives the works a life of their own. One way that Downen makes her sculptures is by first carving the forms and then covering them with a layer of plaster. What are other ways you could make a uide sculpture similar to this one? At home, practice making your own miniature version of this work using air- dry clay, Model Magic, or floral foam and plaster. PLUMB LINE WITH PLASTER, 2011 Plumb lines are tools used by construction workers to ensure that walls are true, or “plumb.” Downen has a collection of plumb bobs, old and new, and uses them in her installations as anchors.

  • Early Basic Cabinet Series Walnut Sideboard Credenza by George
    Holy cow!!! This is such an icon of mid-century modern design I can hardly contain my excitement in offering it to you. So here goes……! It is a sideboard or credenza cabinet from the BCS, or Basic Cabinet Series designed by George Nelson in 1946 for Herman Miller. This one is in the walnut finish with double full-height doors on the left and a stack of four drawers on the right. It is a stand-alone unit with one-inch brushed chrome cylindrical legs and aluminum “J” handles. It retains its original George Nelson/Herman Miller label in the top drawer dating it to 1946-1958. This piece has been restored; however, it was used afterward so may have a little evidence of that use. It is a fantastic find and we are so in love with it here at the shop. George Nelson, designer, architect and author, was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1908. He studied at Yale earning a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in 1928 and 1931 respectively. He also studied at the Catholic University in Washington DC where he won the Rome Prize which may have been the turning point in his life. While there he met and interviewed 12 leading architects of the time including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Gio Ponti, and Walter Gropius. These interviews were published in the magazine Pencil Points. Then as associate editor of Architecture Forum and Fortune magazines Nelson’s writing drew the attention of D. J. DePree, president of Herman Miller, resulting in Nelson creating his first design for Herman Miller in 1945 and subsequently becoming their Design Director in 1947.

  • Modern Classics 1960 Advertisement Sunset Magazine (February) Ever Wondered How Something Becomes a Classic?
    Modern Classics 1960 Advertisement Sunset Magazine (February) Ever wondered how something becomes a classic? We have, and we’d like to share our thoughts with you. We believe furniture becomes classic when it demonstrates a lasting appeal, an original personality, and a simple, innovative beauty and function. Classics are living proof that good things endure; they have a way of evoking a particular time and making time irrelevant. Committees and corporations don’t design classics. Individuals like Charles Eames and George Nelson and Isamu Noguchi do. Their view of modern design lies at the heart of Herman Miller’s collection of modern classics. Eames ® Storage Unit Eames Hang-It-All ® Eames Chaise Eames Soft Pad Management Chair Eames Walnut Stools Nelson TM Swag Leg Desk Eames Aluminum Group Lounge Chair and Ottoman Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chair Eames Sofa Compact The products above are among the original modern classics still manufactured today and available through Herman Miller. 1946 Advertisement Finger’s Furniture Store A 1945 Life magazine article pictured one of George Nelson’s early designs—the Storagewall. Herman Miller founder D.J. De Pree saw the article and journeyed to New York to convince Nelson to serve as the company’s director of design. The warm personal and professional relationship between Nelson and De Pree yielded a stunning range of products, including the platform bench. Introduced in 1946 as part of Nelson’s first collection for Herman Miller, it possesses clean, rectilinear lines that have made it a landmark of modern design.
