For celebrated designers, Charles and Ray Eames, it was toys. They considered playtime productive time. Charles once noted, “Toys and games are preludes to serious ideas.” Fittingly, the Eameses had a diverse and lively collection of toys from all corners of the globe. They recognized the connection between playful exploration and meaningful innovation.

So, what inspires you? Do you have an office toy collection? A collection of classic lunch boxes in your kitchen? A crate of vintage vinyl 45s? Take us for a photographic spin around your collection and if it’s cool and creative enough, you could win a set of Herman Miller Select Walnut Spinning Tops.

Snap a photo (.jpegs are perfect) of your collection, include a one or two-sentence description with it, and email it to: tops@hermanmiller.com. Put “Contest” in the subject line. You have until December 14th to enter. Good luck!
