As a company we’re proud of our commitment to the environment. Did you know we’ve set a goal to get to a zero operational footprint by 2020?  You can read more about that here. My favorite ‘green’ story is beautifully told in the video below. It’s a story of a green building (pictured above), wasps, bees and lots of sweet honey.

The GreenHouse mentioned in the video was designed by architect William McDonough in 1995. This is where our Aeron, Mirra, Embody, SAYL and Setu chairs are produced. And it’s where my boss has her office. I’ve spent a bit of time in this building – summer and winter – and I can attest to its comfort. The temperature always feels just right and the natural light that streams onto the factory floor makes for a beautiful workspace.


Happy Earth Day!
