MillerKnoll Unveils Massive Design Archive: A Must-Visit for Design Enthusiasts
Attention all design lovers! MillerKnoll has just revealed its impressive design archive, and it’s a must-see for anyone interested in the history of furniture design.
The archive, which spans an impressive 12,000 square feet, is located at MillerKnoll’s Michigan headquarters. It houses over one million objects from the archival collections of both Herman Miller and Knoll, two iconic furniture companies known for their innovative and timeless designs.
According to MillerKnoll’s CEO, the decision to create a permanent home for the archive was driven by a desire to preserve and showcase the rich history of both companies. “We wanted to create a space where people could come and experience the evolution of our designs over the years,” he explains.
Visitors to the archive can expect to see a wide range of objects, from iconic pieces like the Eames Lounge Chair to lesser-known prototypes and sketches. The space is designed to be interactive, with opportunities for visitors to learn about the design process and even try out some of the furniture themselves.
If you’re itching to visit this design mecca, mark your calendars for June 5, 2025. That’s when the archive will officially open its doors to the public. In the meantime, keep an eye out for updates and sneak peeks from MillerKnoll on social media.
