About Herman Miller

A century of research-led, problem-solving design — now available in New Zealand from Yapi.

Design that solves problems

Herman Miller’s approach has always started with people. Rather than styling furniture for its own sake, the company studies how bodies move, how offices change and how good design can support health and productivity. That problem-first philosophy has produced some of the most recognisable seating of the last hundred years, developed alongside designers such as George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames, and Bill Stumpf.

Herman Miller design philosophy

A heritage of icons

From mid-century classics to the ergonomic chairs found in studios and offices worldwide, Herman Miller designs are held in major museum collections and are known for lasting decades rather than seasons. The Aeron redefined the ergonomic task chair, while pieces like the Embody continue that tradition of health-positive, research-led seating.
