New Ways to Play, Win, and Smile

By


Here’s something designed to make you smile: our Everywhere in Your Day interactive video and contest launches today in the Herman Miller Store. It’s an easy way to help you explore how Herman Miller furniture fits everywhere in your every day — as well as your chance to win some of our classic designs. All month long, we’ll be releasing biweekly clues that will lead you through an interactive Everywhere in Your Day video and the Herman Miller Store, where the clickable answers will be embedded. Clicking on the correct answer will enter you to win a series of select Herman Miller prizes; playing all eight clues enters you to win the grand prize — an Eames Lounge and Ottoman.

We’re kicking off the contest with a chance to win a “Smile, you’re designed to.” poster from Fab.com — a Herman Miller favorite, especially since co-founder and chief design officer Bradford Shellhammer regularly declares his devotion to all things Eames. (Have you seen his home?) Watch for your chances to win and to get info on the latest clues by following Herman Miller on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and by visiting the contest page here. Good luck!

Last spring, while the original contents of Charles and Ray Eameses’ living room were on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Herman Miller Collection team had the rare opportunity to hold a photo shoot in the husband-and-wife team’s landmark home. The capper? They were also invited to explore Ray’s extensive, well-curated personal collection of objects to use as props. In celebration of Ray’s upcoming 100th birthday, we asked Jennie Maneri, Art Director, Collection and Retail, to walk us through a few of the shots and explain how the details Ray was know for helped bring the Collection to life.
