Description
Herman Miller and family-brand members Design Within Reach, HAY, Geiger, and Maharam now occupy the landmarked building at 1100 West Fulton Market Street that once housed a poultry wholesale business. The original brick façade of the 1922 two-story building on the corner of Fulton & Aberdeen was preserved and restored, while the interiors and the adjoining five-story brick building immediately to the West were built new and completed in the Spring of 2021. Painstaking efforts were undertaken to make the new structure blend seamlessly with the architecture of the original building. Like the building, Herman Miller’s design history dates back more than 100 years, and in celebration of that history Herman Miller in opening to the public the premier exhibition in the glass-enclosed, rooftop Eames Pavilion featuring a look back at the company’s design history, with a colorful exhibition based on the book: Herman Miller A Way of Living.
