A designer’s passion embodied

Designed by Tom Newhouse, Flute embodies two of Tom’s passions—the study of emerging office issues and the implementation of green design concepts.

Flute can be used in any work environment as a freestanding lamp or with a surface mount. It uses the latest in LED technology to provide high-quality light output.

Manufactured from 37% recycled material, Flute consumes 30 to 50+% less energy than traditional task lights. It uses only a total of 4.7 watts of energy to provide 48 lumens per watt and has a life span of more than 60,000 hours (24 years with average use). At the end of its useful life, it is 85% recyclable.

“I have been passionate about the environment for the past 25 years,” Tom says, “and I will continue to be. That’s one reason why I love to work with Herman Miller.”
