With Architects and Designers working toward their “Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) Certification, they are designing interiors that focus on environmentally friendly and sustainable products and processes. Since 1991, Herman Miller’s Environmental Health and Safety Group has been designing for the environment at work, home, healthcare, education and government facilities. A leader among office cubicle manufacturers, Herman Miller’s new Canvas Office Landscape line incorporates accessories, work surfaces, tables, filing, storage and seating into a new “beam based” alternative to the traditional office cubicles layout with a focus on the best usage of your real estate. Herman Miller’s “space utilization service” takes space planning to the next level by obtaining real time occupancy data. Combined with their “Energy Manager” which utilizes occupancy sensors built in to the systems furniture frames, you maximize your real estate usage and minimize energy consumption at the work station level. The innovative new layout provides the space necessary for improved efficiency and collaboration.
In 1994, Herman Miller’s designers, Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, rolled out the most well-known ergonomic chair ever made. Many of us are familiar with the iconic Aeron chair but how many realize that the chair is 94% recyclable. It is made of mostly recycled materials and at the end of its long lifecycle it can be absorbed back into the environment with little to no harmful impact.
Herman Miller’s environmentally responsible designers focus on green building practices that use sustainable and durable quality materials that are safe for people and have the lowest possible impact on the environment. Combine this with the fact that their manufacturing plants in West Michigan provide jobs right here in the United States for hundreds of tax payers, it is easy to see why, in 2011, they have achieved their 23rd year as an industry leader in FORTUNE magazine’s “Most Admired” companies survey.
