ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The three simple units, each a moulded and sculptured shape, offer support with a soft look and allow the system to take on a multitude of forms. Each piece has fully upholstered front, back and sides, so it can serve as an end, interior or solo seat, no matter the arrangement.
Having nearly half a century of celebrated innovations, Don Chadwick remains influential to industrial designers and furniture manufacturers the world over. His modular seating design for Herman Miller, which was originally introduced in 1974, relaunched at NeoCon in 2015.
An industrial design student at UCLA in the mid-1950s, Chadwick’s focus on furniture sharpened after attending a lecture from celebrated designers Charles and Ray Eames. Ten years later, he had his own design studio in Los Angeles, a small space above a hardware store, where he spent much of his time trying to promote his ideas to manufacturers. “It started, I believe, in 1972,” as Chadwick puts it, when Herman Miller paid him a visit. He’s designed and co-designed some of the company’s most recognisable products ever since. In the midst of his budding (and soon-to-be booming) career, Chadwick returned to UCLA to bestow his knowledge upon students as a professor, from 1976 to 1985.
An avid collector of art, Chadwick is no stranger to museums – and neither are his designs. The Aeron chair, an ergonomic icon he co-designed with Bill Stumpf for Herman Miller in 1994, became part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection before it went into production.
