Toys and a New Store for Herman Miller

By


House Industries has designed a very cool set of toy blocks (above and below) for our new store in Tokyo – the first bricks and mortar store since the creation of the Textiles and Objects Shop, which it operated in New York City from 1960-1967. The Japanese store was designed by Torafu Architects in the Marunouchi shopping district. As well as the House Industries blocks there are limited-edition Eames molded plastic side chairs painted by Japanese artist Mustone and unique rugs developed in collaboration with photographer Takashi Kumagai.

Are these blocks available for purchase for the U.S. market?

We wish they were! Only in Tokyo…
