Herman Miller, Inc., Celebrates Grand Opening of Atlanta National Design Center
January 31, 2007
Herman Miller, Inc., marked the grand opening of its Atlanta National Design Center on Thursday, February 1, 2007, in the historic Puritan Mill complex on the city's west side. The event was staged from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the company's 15,172-square-foot facility at 916 Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard NW. The opening of the Atlanta National Design Center brings to eight the number of Herman Miller National Design Centers in North America.
The Atlanta space features soaring ceilings with sawtooth skylights complemented by brick walls and large windows, which flood the loft-like space with abundant natural light.
The space also features commissioned art installations by Atlanta-based artists Carolyn Carr and Michael Gibson, a husband-and-wife team for whom the Herman Miller space represents their first side-by-side collaboration. Carr's work, "Sugar Magnolia," is 12 feet high by 44 feet long, and Gibson's "Blue Bouy 25," is 12 feet high by 24 feet wide. The third artist, Deanna Sirlin, also from Atlanta, has three works that are entitled: "Spin Doctor," "No Worries," and "Matter of Time."
Herman Miller is seeking LEED certification for the Atlanta NDC, as it has for its other major domestic showrooms, and for all of its new and renovated office and manufacturing facilities in recent years. The company has set LEED Silver certification as its baseline target.
Along with NDCs in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Dallas, and Toronto, the Atlanta facility is created with a comprehensive customer experience in mind. The NDCs allow Herman Miller to replicate many of the same features and encounters a customer would experience on a visit to the company's global headquarters in West Michigan.
"Having a National Design Center in Atlanta is a key step in fulfilling our commitment to provide real choices and great experiences for our customers," said Ray Kennedy, who oversees Herman Miller's NDCs and the company's merchandising strategy. "We're excited about the location and the space, which should help Herman Miller better serve our corporate clients as well as the architecture and design community in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast."
Herman Miller helps create great places to work, heal, learn, and live by researching, designing, manufacturing, and distributing innovative interior solutions that support companies, organizations, and individuals all over the world. The company's award-winning products, complemented by furniture management and strategic consulting services, generated over $1.74 billion in revenue during fiscal 2006. Herman Miller is widely recognized both for its innovative products and business practices. Herman Miller is a recipient of the prestigious National Design Award for product design from the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. In 2006, the company was once again cited by Fortune magazine as the "Most Admired" company in its industry and is among Business Ethics magazine's "100 Best Corporate Citizens." The company trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol MLHR.
