Outdoor Weave

Designed for application on the Eames Aluminum Group Outdoor chairs and ottoman, Outdoor Weave is a soft, sophisticated textured weave that works like a mesh and feels like a fabric. It captures the style of the original materials chosen by Charles Eames in updated neutral tones.

Luna Textiles for Herman Miller

Current, Connection and Current are the first proprietary fabrics designed by Luna Textiles exclusively for Herman Miller. These fabrics exemplify Luna’s design talent for imaginative patterns inspired by architectural forms, and the color palette was developed with Herman Miller systems finishes in mind. The patterns are designed to work together, offering a diversity of scale.

Designed as a seating companion to Current and Connection patterns with a style of its own, Circuit is a 100% recycled polyester seating and systems textile. Available in 10 colors, Circuit’s pattern was created to pay homage to mid-century design in subtle and surprising ways.

The geometric pattern of Connection is purposely asymmetrical, giving it a very modern yet timeless feel. Contemporary and playful, the color palette for has a range of neutrals keyed to Herman Miller finishes as well as offering several saturated accent colors.

Current makes a statement with its contemporary pattern that has an intentional organic feel to it. Current is designed to work with Connection and has a coordinated palette.

Gem –  Price Category 1 Seating Fabric

Environmentally intelligent and affordable, Gem is a hard working textile in Price Category 1. It’s available in 16 colors, including  warm and cool neutrals along with saturated brights. Woven in antimony-free polyester, Gem meets the MBDC Gold Certification Criteria.

Lyris 2

Lyris was a new material invention when the Setu chair premiered. Now, three years after its introduction, the Lyris suspension material has undergone an important evolution. Lyris 2 has added strength and durability, as well as a distinctive sheen.

In its new form, Lyris 2 wears better and is stronger than its predecessor. It has a new weave pattern that does more than enhance the appearance: it improves the wear performance of the Setu chair.   

3 Veneer Colors

Inspired by Italian veneers at the Salone in Milan, we developed three true neutrals with a durable base wood: a clear white ash; a brown English oak; a medium value driftwood. The wood comes from trees that are rapidly renewable. To produce this veneer, the wood is stacked and sliced providing a straight grain pattern, resulting in a higher yield and less waste.

MCL Leather: European All Grain Leather

A premium leather, MCL is made from the very best European leather we could find. While most contract leathers are sanded and pressed to make the grain look more uniform, MCL is made from 100% all grain hides, with an inherent natural beauty that gives each piece its own distinct characteristics. It is available in 10  colors, from creamy toffee to an amazing red. A light water-based protective coating provides added durability while maintaining the leather's touch.   MCL Leather is available on select seating products.

Hue Textile for Canvas Screens

Hue is an addition to our Canvas Signature Screen fabric options, offering an upscale choice in four neutral colors. A hint of heather gives it an elegant look, while its tighter weave offers a bit more privacy.
