Herman Miller Online Store and Lifework

Well, I love me some Herman Miller. I'm very fortunate to have a couple of vintage rosewood Eames Lounge Chairs, one of which I sit in every day. They're from the early '70's and still the most comfortable lounge chairs I've ever experienced.

I know that many of the classic mid-century items produced by Herman Miller have been somewhat overexposed (OK, VERY overexposed) in the media, lifestyle magazines and blogs like mine, but they've never really been out of style. The interior design version of  the "little back dress" or the "navy blazer"...simple and timeless.

Recently Herman Miller has wisely decided to sell its iconic designs online at the Herman Miller Store. If there is anything for me that could be classified as "design porn", this is it!

Herman Miller also has a great blog called Lifework, which profiles various designers, their workspaces and what music they find inspiring. Always thoughtful and interesting, it's definitely worth a look

Constructed of redwood, concrete and glass, the two bedroom, one and a half bath residence can be yours for $1,495,000.
