The look of the future
As the next generation of height-adjustable desk, T2 had to reflect its futuristic intention “for the same reason a Tesla does not look like a Toyota,” explains Marc Fong, Director of Research, Design & Development for Herman Miller, Asia Pacific. Everything from transitions in surface geometry to component interface was created with this in mind.
The smartphone also had a part to play. “I’m obsessed with the round corners on smartphones,” says Fong, who gave T2 its well-rounded form, with corners curving at a 50mm radius.
When it comes to the name, the T represents the desk's striking profile, shaped like the letter T. It also evokes the central idea of T2: taking control. Workspaces are usually determined and designed by someone else, whether designer, facility manager, or CFO. Rarely are they designed by the individuals who use them. T2, on the other hand, is all about shaping your own environment.
