AT HERMAN MILLER, design is not just a business—it's a way of life. It is embedded in all the company does—in the search for creative ideas, in its innovative and highly acclaimed products, in facilities, and in strategies for communicating with employees, consultants, and customers. To explore the meaning of this commitment on a personal level, Deanne Beckwith weaves a Herman Miller story from conversations with individuals who work for the company from the CEO to a manager of horticulture and grounds.
