that certefication 11:10 is for the Cosm chair, just sayin'

[@MineCheese]

I love Future Proof, I work for Herman Miller, this is an awesome video!

[@kylethecreator]

Love to see these types of connections. Is Herman Miller hiring at all? I would love to work for a more forward thinking company that actually is looking into new ways to be as sustainable as possible.

[@davdgs]

@@MineCheese Quick question, and if you don't want to answer this then that's obviously fine but what type of job do you have at Herman Miller? Honestly just interested

[@MineCheese]

@@davdgs Hey David, I work in Product Management!

[@annonone93]

HM and IKEA would be a dream company for me to work at. I dont hate what i do rn, but i want to get out of the infracore industry and step into more retail design

[@dentjoener]

As an intensive desk user (12h per day) I got myself an Aeron chair. They warranty their chair for 12 years in continuous shifts at max capacity. This is just insane. I've sat on 25 year old Aerons and they're hardly different from new ones. It's just insane. Yes they're expensive, but I'm sure I'll have this one until I'm dead.

[@axeblue]

Only 12hrs? I sleep on my workspace.

[@camejuanm]

Herman Miller is one of those things that I know is interesting and I'm really curious about, but never bothered to enter the rabbit hole. Thanks for researching it for me. 😂

[@FutureProofTV]

That's what we're here for, glad you enjoyed this one!!!

[@sophiayumul4190]

I'm starting a modular furniture business and this really inspired me to be proactive in adopting a more environmentally conscious approach. It's not too common in my country to consider the sustainability of materials in furniture but hopefully one day, maybe even through my business, it gets more visibility.

[@glennsak]

I am a huge Eames and Nelson fan. But Herman Miller has ridiculously high prices and their pricing is the exact opposite of what mid-century designers were hoping to accomplish - create affordable furniture for post-war families looking to furnish their first home.

[@thetaomega7816]

nowadays if you dont want third world labour in the products, that´s sadly what you have to ask for

[@Fhshaoaksbd]

Herman Miller likely had to change their demographic because the times have changed since WWII. There’s an abundance of cheap crap being made overseas. Selling higher quality goods made by people who are paid livable wages means higher prices and appealing to individuals who have $$ Also, those materials and processes to make that furniture the way they did likely is no longer cheap or efficient also leading increased cost. Personally, I’m glad the design is still in production for the small amount of people who are interested in it and care about it

[@Comfortablydumb2]

We had Herman Miller Aeron chairs in the office. I never cared about them back then. Once the pandemic hit and i had to work from home for 8 hrs on shitty generic office chair, i have come to appreciate it. I never felt back pain on them during long working hours.

[@twobluestripes]

It’s funny, i knew a fair amount amount mid century furniture design, loved Eames, Noguchi, and such, but didn’t realize until last year when I took furniture design for my woodworking program, that Herman Miller manufactured most of my favorite and all the now-famous designs, in addition to all the chairs and desks and cabinets in the offices at my workplace

[@FutureProofTV]

It's crazy, they're such a titan in the design world! And yes, especially in workplace/office settings 👀 Glad to hear you appreciate them just as much as we do!

[@chelsflick]

Love this! As a designer who often works with Herman Miller furniture this was a fun watch! I'd love to see some videos looking at other brands that seem to be putting sustainability on the forefront of their business like Bombas & Cotopaxi

[@FutureProofTV]

Thanks for this! We have a lot of videos lined up so we will try our best!

[@armadillito]

How did you end up there and (be wary of posting this publicly to the internet, don't let me bait you into trouble...) what's it like?

[@normalgirlcvco]

Excuse my ignorance but the Cotopaxi business you mentioned, what they do? I'm surprised because Cotopaxi is the name of a Volcano and a province here in my country Ecuador and I didn't know there was a company with the same name.

[@GyroCannon]

I’ve been hesitant to buy a Herman Miller solely because it’s so pricey, but this video has been a good sales pitch. Why give money to a soulless company that makes junk (that I might have to replace in 2 years) when I can give it to a company with good intentions and policies and whose products are made to last?

[@armadillito]

I would just caution you not to get carried away with the environmental consumer responsibility narrative, but the principle of buying a few good things that last for years stands up. It's also a healthier lifestyle choice for many, so long as you can find the capital for the initial costs.

[@Default78334]

That's basically what got me to invest in a big-boy ergo chair for my home office. I realized I was replacing $200-300 chairs from office supply stores every 2-3 years, so why not spend that money on a better chair that comes with a 12 year warranty and be more comfortable the whole time?

[@ItsBigEz]

I've had a aeron since 07 or 08, the chair has been great, only the reclining mechanism failed and I've been too lazy to fix it myself. if you don't want to overspent you could buy a used one in good condition, it will still last you many years!

[@HieronymousLex]

I personally recommend the Haworth zody chair. In terms of build quality, it’s absolutely fantastic. You can really feel the quality in every part of it. And it’s actually more ergonomic for me, being 6’1 and very skinny with back problems I’m sensitive to that sort of thing. It’s the only chair I’ve sat in in 5 years that I’ve been able to be comfortable in. It’s been a game changer for me. You should be able to find one on sale for $500ish

[@Explodinggophers]

I LOVE this channel and look forward to every new video. Very stoked for the future Herman Miller videos and would love to see more doves into other furniture companies as well as Lululemon

[@kyralawrence4662]

Just discovered your channel today. The brand Herman Miller was a much touted furniture brand when I was in design school in the 70's. I was curious to see your take on the company today. Loved the way the video came together. Very informative. I'm looking forward to watching the remaining episodes. I've subscribed and see many other brands you have covered. I'm hooked!

[@OsUltraBug]

One criticism about this video. None of these pieces of furniture are Herman Miller designs, these were designs from other industrial designers and architects that then would license the rights to production to Herman Miller, you're not buying an Herman Miller Eames lounge, you're buying a Charles and Ray Eames 670 and 671 who happens to be built by Herman Miller. This same approach was common with other brands that had the means to produce artist's designs such as Thonet (who actually have their own designs), Alessi, Vitra, Knoll, etc. So in essence Herman Miller had success because it made good bets on good designers whom I might add, where mostly already successful on they're own.

[@larrymelman]

This video seems like a paid informercial for HM. Way too gushing. Way too much mention of meaningless awards. I wonder if this comment will be deleted. I bet many others have been.

[@TheLunarFire]

I have a mini size noguchi coffee table on my night stand that my mom got at a conference like 20 years ago when she worked at a firm that used to sell Herman Miller. There are lots of excellent furniture brands that just aren't splashy with advertising but are such high quality.

[@madisonwalker8288]

I was lucky enough to inherit my dad's Aeron chair from his old office, I think he got it in 2001? I'm literally sitting in it now and it hasn't aged a bit. Its insane how well its held up, 20 years of being sat in and its not even phased lol. I dont think he's ordered replacement parts or had to even fix it!

[@TheOffcut]

Loving this channel! great content and production! Keep it up!!

[@FutureProofTV]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for being here 🙏🏻

[@Alice-ft4ie]

What’s cool is that Herman Miller is also at the forefront of research in Healthcare and Office Environmental design. We often get presentations with their sales team at our arch/design/engineering office and their team for systems furniture is one of the most robust in the industry providing not only solutions for different design environments but extensively reviewed research for designers alike. We reference a good amount of their research when presenting sustainable & evolving design to our internal teams & clients.

[@jauipop]

I love Herman Miller furniture (I've been using the Aeron Chairs for the past 25 years... from when I was in school and now have the same chair in my home office). My Aeron Chairs came with me from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur...! As much as I love their positive green initiatives, I have noticed that all their green initiatives are not internationally available, and admittedly, not available in countries where waste/re-use is an issue - the developing world. For example, they do not provide great after sales support through their distributors in Malaysia and that furniture hand off program is definitely not available here. The base of one of my Aeron Chairs had the fabric rip and I had to scour through eBay to find the replacement part because it was ridiculously expensive to buy it through Herman Miller themselves. If it were anyone else with the $$ to do it, I think they would have just chucked the old chair and bought a new one... Anyway, love your videos and look forward to the next instalment of this series! I would love to have an original Eames lounge chair one day!! Their products are great, but they're crazy expensive.

[@eliaschevette]

My issue with mid century modern craze is that the furniture work so well because of the time it was created. You had a modern Architectural movement getting to maturity and mass production made it possible for the masses to have quality furniture. Today with small robots we could see a extreme custom furniture but the choke hold on materials some have make it impossible.

[@ann_teator]

this is the first video of you guys that's basically a showcase of things done right, and I love it maybe you could consider covering ermenegildo zegna some time in the future? they're looking after a mountain of forest that's in Italy, and not telling anybody about it and they're not focused on sort of "Uber luxury" products like vicuna or alligator leather, they're more focused on making full use out of the wool i'd say they're the closest company to called a slow fashion brand

[@nancycowell-miller4321]

Looking forward to the continuation of this series. Thanks! I'll stay tuned!

[@sleepypsy2650]

I know this an old video but I've been on a binge of y'alls content and its so amazing and great Levi's freakout moment is truly deserved

[@Cantseemuch]

My parents both are architects and big modernism fans, so these pieces have been ingrained in my brain for as long as I can remember. And what is great about mid century modern furniture is how it was accessible for many people, both of my grandparents owned chairs like your dining chair even though one were professors in a metropolitan area and the others were working class. My dad’s dream chair was the eames chair but sadly he is to big (6”3) to comfortably get up from one, but instead he got lc2 chair from cassina and let me tell you there isnt a more comfortable chair in the world! Hermann miller and other classic furniture companies are pretty expensive and as I, and most people I am in contact with, am in my 20s I am called crazy for justifying paying 500€ for a simple chair. But like said in the video: they are made to last a lifetime, are reparable, produced fairly and environmentally friendly and that for me is reason enough to splurge on that chair. And they usually have great customer service. It’s also a cool thing to know that something has been in the family for 60/70 years.

[@jasonchen5268]

You should look into Knoll! The Knoll furniture group in my opinion brought the concept of Modern over from Europe to America in the 40s. No furniture company in my opinion has ever been as design focused as Knoll. Knoll was recently acquired by Herman Miller and the two are now known as MillerKnoll.

[@fiskle]

I love that you're using two household items that I own as examples for polar opposites. I bought a used Herman Miller Aeron, most likely like 14 years old, and I have the Ikea Lack table 😂

I've always wanted a Herman Miller since high school but with what money? It wasn't until years later and three IKEA chairs, and one returned gaming chair that I decided...yeah let's get that chair from work. But oh am I glad I did, the Aeron is amazing and fixed my back and posture up.

My office had those Aeron chairs after their old renovation, and they were the “sacred” chairs ONLY for the conference rooms and the front desk. Now our latest renovation (we thought we were socially distanced but not really.) The chairs are now ONLY for private offices, the conference room and new kitchen now has chairs that look like your dining chairs because the room is smaller (a future phase of the renovation will build a big conference room, but we needed to finish other parts of the plan first so everyone was back all on the same floor). Our desk chairs used to be okay, now they remind me of the vinyl seats in my parent’s old Chevy, except the back part is straight vertical with not much tilt back available… I snuck a chair from the temporary space upstairs because it was way more comfortable.

[@sunny-delite]

While Herman Miller has a great design history, for example all of those awesome mid-century modern designs - a lot of other contract furniture companies have done more to be environmentally friendly. As you mentioned, not all of their furniture is cradle-to-cradle certified and that's really only one of a handful of furniture-specific third party certifications related to sustainability. They're great at marketing and I do like their products but it would be worthwhile to do a comparison to their Michigan-based neighbours like Haworth and Steelcase because they're all taking huge strides to do better for the global community. Full disclosure - I interned at Steelcase as an interior design student so I may be biased and/or have more info on that company but I do think other companies like Haworth are far more innovative than Herman Miller instead of relying so heavily on their legacy products.

[@treasurewuji8740]

Their sustainability is in the life of the product. If I can use it forever, I don’t really care😊

[@jekku4688]

about 20 years ago, I worked in a large telecom co, and nearly all our furniture and casegoods were by Hermann Miller. Back then I never paid much attention to that fact--it was just "office furniture--but when the company folded and they were literally giving away the furniture and fixtures for pennies on the dollar, I stupidly did NOT buy anything at that time. Am now kicking myself for neglecting to purchase a few HM items back then. Sigh.

[@PPHalpert]

I saw that Eames lounge chair clip in the beginning and was like, “Heyyy you butthead that’s an Eames!”. Then had the revelation that furniture designers didn’t used to have to be their own salesperson, storefront and marketer, which came with a host of other realizations 💥

[@ao7239]

Herman Miller just bought Knolls for over a billion dollars at the beginning of the pandemic. This was an aggressive takeover since Knolls stock never recovered from initial covid shock. Herman Miller rebranded to MillerKnoll and market self as the largest modern furniture company in the world. After justifying the purchase Andi and their CFO told MillerKnoll brands that the company will need to cut 300 million every year from budget for 3 consistent years. Of course, those cuts came from cut people, automation and outsourcing positions to India. Sad since they're probably working through reorganizing today. Maybe someone with insight can shed more light on this. From a designer perspective this merged only to make sense for Herman Miller to get exclusive access to Europe designers under contract with Knoll brands and product patients. The people and lives affected in this textbook capitalism takeover was just the collateral damage. Just sad and insult to injury- they did this in the middle of a global pandemic instead of focusing on protecting employees and their communities. Forcing loyal employees to find new careers after spending a lifetime of dedication to build this culture is just sad- all this just for their investors. Herman Miller and Knolls would have been better off as two separate companies.

[@kevinweber5129]

Sounds like they are now having to compete with IKEA and China now. Lots of companies going to hybrid. Of course I’m sure some got sales from tech workers at home.

[@ao7239]

Ikea's business model is much different than of MillerKnoll's since its focus is on cheap direct to consumer products that purchaser builds themselves. Retail is important but those one-off purchases that will last the person for years won't keep the ship afloat - massive companies like Steelcase and Millerknoll need to rely on major company's contract purchases to keep afloat and their investors happy. With the current situation around the working furnishing office spaces are not high on anyone's to-do list. When current inflation is being seen around the is causing everyone to be careful with their spending. No one will say it but we are at the begging of a recession - Once this fog clears, MillerKnoll will be a much thinner streamlined company that should dominate the market. But that is still a few years out - it's going to mess for the forthcoming future. MillerKnoll stock should drop to the low 20s even teens by end of 2022.

[@subliminus]

This was a great video on the company, but you get a subscription for the clever use of Magic School Bus footage. Bella would be impressed.

[@davidj.kleinsasser8673]

I suggest you watch almost any Apple Keynote presentation of the past 20 years or so, they express their "convictions" over and over. They are deeply committed to privacy and sustainability, but you wouldn't know that if you listen to most commentators. There is a lot of anti-Apple FUD out there. Steve Jobs built an amazing company.

[@Drawfield]

The furniture recycling program is a common thing in the industry outside of HM, most commercial dealers have segments that hold and resell all casegoods - my local steelcase dealership has a massive warehouse to hold lots of task chairs, tables, etc to offer as loaner furniture or to sell as used. Also markups on their furniture price their products out of 85-95% of the large scale commercial projects my firm does - their contracts with dealerships have a stranglehold on their percentages and since they aren’t open line there is no other option or competition for purchasing compared to a brand like JSI.

[@MI-ll3xy]

Honestly, the only turn-off for HM chairs (for me at least), is the lack of a headrest on many of the models like the Aeron. I have a home office and when I'm done working I like to tilt the seat back and relax, but without a headrest it can get uncomfortable.

My family used my mom's solid maple dining room table. She'd gotten it from her mother, who'd gotten it at a yard sale. It never had the matching chairs, because they couldn't afford the extra money.

[@DustyTheDog]

12 in 1935, just an example year during the Depression I chose arbitrarily, inflates to around 251 today. For a solid-wood piece of furniture, like that set of drawers WITH the mirror, is REALLY cheap. Sure, you can find that sort of thing cheaper now. They are made of particle board, or other not-solid-wood materials. A simple search of "solid wood dresser with mirror" brings up prices as low as 300 on some sites, and I saw 1600 from other sites

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Surely much, much better, and sustainable than some MDF/chipboard/vinyl wrap rubbish from a certain Scandinavian furniture retailer, who seems to think that renting from them is the future………..spend as much as you are able, buy once, and cherish.

[@armadillito]

I don't know, if you can make simple but robust chipboard stuff last 5-10 years then the carbon efficiency must be pretty decent. And flat-pack stuff greatly reduces distribution emissions. But maybe I am judging based on older ikea designs that seem to last much better than some of the newer ones that have cut corners to make marginal cost savings.
