Highlights at Design Days 2024
Bay Work Pod by Herman Miller
Bay Work Pod is an entirely new ergonomic and aesthetically appealing workspace solution optimized for hybrid work schedules and open floor plans. Available in two sizes, Bay Work Pod is ideal for everything from focused solo work to a video call that puts individuals in their best light. Designed with inclusivity at the forefront, the interior features elements like background color and lighting optimized to flatter all skin tones and clothing choices while on camera. The larger Pro version is ADA accessible, designed with the necessary space to maneuver a wheelchair, and sits at floor level with no threshold.
Bay Work Pod will launch Fall 2024.
Mirra 2 Updates
Studio 7.5 and Herman Miller have revisited the design of Mirra 2 to further reduce the carbon footprint by reassessing how every element could be more sustainably made––leaning into material innovations while advancing its well-established suite of performance-enhancing technology. The result is the latest Mirra 2 that's physically light and light on our environment, is comprised of eco-friendly materials, and energizes spaces through a new color palette with color blocking and punctuated application options.
The updated Mirra 2 will launch Fall 2024.
Zeph Side Chair
Also designed by Studio 7.5, the Zeph Chair collection is distinguished by a colorful one-piece seat and flexible back. Through the same research-backed ergonomics that led to the design of the task chair and raised stool introduced in 2022, Zeph Side Chair brings a natural recline to the four-leg side and visitor seating category and supports a variety of applications including focused work, collaborative small group, and fluid educational settings. Zeph Side Chair can be fitted with an optional 3D Knit seat covering made from 50 percent post-consumer recycled content, and because it’s knitted to the chair’s exact dimensions, there’s zero fabric waste.
Zeph Side Chair launched April 2024.
OE1 Sit-to-Stand Table
Designed to fit seamlessly into any office, the OE1 Sit-to-Stand Table by Industrial Facility features a height-adjustable mechanism that is operated via a discreet foot pedal. The table makes it easy to work seated, on a stool, or standing for ergonomic comfort. Its compact size allows it to slip into underutilized spaces when not in use, and the sturdy, single-column aluminum base keeps cords neatly organized and tucked away. An optional USB-C charging outlet keeps devices powered. Available with a choice of durable laminate and wood veneer tops, the OE1 Sit-to-Stand Table is polished, versatile, and ready to work anywhere.
OE1 Sit-to-Stand Table launched November 2023.
Herman Miller's Fulton Market showroom also features a comprehensive MillerKnoll healthcare display highlighting clinical products and textiles from Herman Miller, Knoll, Knoll Textiles, Maharam, NaughtOne, and Muuto. Exploring over five decades of healthcare research, the exhibition displays product, material and process innovations in flexible casework solutions that are change-ready for client optimization.
Across the full Herman Miller floorplan, visitors can experience the breadth of the brand’s product portfolio and its ability to address a wide range of space types and a variety of client needs.
