This new offer integrates Herman Miller’s innovative furniture designs with collaborative technology solutions from a range of leading technology companies. Living Office Settings uses an organization’s workplace strategy as a guide to align surroundings, furnishings, and tools in harmony with people allowing work to flow seamlessly in every setting.
“Herman Miller works with the most innovative designers and thinkers in the world to create products and solve problems. Our approach for integrating furnishings and technology into high-performing work settings is no different,” said Greg Bylsma, President of the North American Contract Market. “Our research gives us a deep understanding of how people work and the tools and furnishings they need to do that work. By bringing together the best minds in the tech-services industry, our dealers can deliver outcomes that avoid the frictions of the traditional process.”
With our partners, we have streamlined the process of creating, specifying, and deploying integrated solutions to help customers and their design partners save time and money.
Our collaborative-technology partners include:
