You might want to pack your bags and head for Tokyo when you hear what just opened up there: a Herman Miller store. It’s the company’s first storefront to open since the creation of the Textiles and Objects Shop, which it operated in New York City from 1960-1967.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store6.jpg"><img src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store6.jpg" alt="" title="Custom-painted Eames side chairs" width="480" height="319" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8382" /></a><br />
Designed by <a href="http://www.torafu.com/" target="_new">Torafu Architects</a> and located in the hip Marunouchi shopping district, it’s full of wonderfully designed items, large and small, including limited-edition Eames molded plastic side chars painted by Japanese artist <a href="http://www.tokyoartbeat.com/event/2010/8A39.en" target="_new">Mustone</a> and unique area rugs developed in collaboration with photographer <a href="http://www.takashikumagai.com/" target="_new">Takashi Kumagai</a>.</p>
<p>It’s all about making great design available to consumers, from chairs and desks to games and toys. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store2.jpg"><img src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store2.jpg" alt="" title="Accessories" width="480" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8384" /></a><br />
Up until now there really hasn’t been an easy way for individuals in this area to buy Herman Miller products. But the demand has always been great. </p>
<p>Herman Miller sells its products in North America to individuals through its network of <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/DotCom/jsp/whereToBuy/storeLocatorLanding.jsp" target="_new">authorized retailers</a> and its <a href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/store/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=10151&#038;catalogId=10051&#038;langId=-1" target="_new">online store</a>. Its global network of <a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/Where-To-Buy" target="_new">dealerships</a> sells to businesses worldwide. </p>
<p>The store in Marunouchi provides the company a way to raise awareness for its brand in a growing market. And now the shopping is not only simple—walk right in and have a look around—but fun, too.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store1.jpg"><img src="http://www.hermanmiller.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/Store1.jpg" alt="" title="Inside the store" width="480" height="320" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8383" /></a><br />
Visitors will find a comfortable, relaxing, “at home” atmosphere with several specially designed areas, like the “Try a Chair” section where they can sit, twirl and experiment to find just the right fit. </p>
