Herman Miller's latest additions to the company product portfolio have been honored by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Design and Architecture. My Studio Environments, Vivo Interiors, the Leaf personal light, and the Celle work chair were chosen from hundreds of entries submitted in over a dozen product categories, each receiving GOOD DESIGN Awards for 2006.
The GOOD DESIGN jury of recognized architects, designers, and authorities in the design world based their decisions on aesthetic criteria stated in the original 1950 program by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr.,--criteria which measures innovation, form, materials, construction, concept, function, and utility.
GOOD DESIGN is the world's oldest and most celebrated awards program that bestows international recognition upon designers and manufacturers for advancing new and innovative product concepts and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered standard product and consumer design.
