Thursday and Friday of last week I was in Atlanta with the Herman Miller rep, a sales rep from the Herman Miller dealer in town, my boss and the other designer I work with. We had an absolute blast visiting showrooms, eating fantastic food, staying in a beautiful hotel in Buckhead and seeing some amazing art. I have dedicated most of the posts this week to cover our fun adventure....starting with our first stop, the Geiger showroom and manufacturing plant. Geiger is a Herman Miller owned company. Above is an amazing bench that i wanted.
the plant tour was actually fascinating and i was not sure how much photography i could actually take. our tour guide walked us through the entire process of making a piece of furniture. i took this photo of piles of veneer. i had never seen veneer in it's natural state before being adhered to furniture. i think this is the maple up close and walnut behind it. so cool.
this workstation made me happy because the work top slides left and right on a rail system and the blue in the storage units is actually painted wood. the interior of the overheads is blue too. the picture doesn't do it justice...much cooler in person.
i love how they displayed all of their finish options as art on the wall.

these scissor chairs in the lobby are an oldie but goodie. i think they have had them in their line since the 70s and reissued them about 10 years ago.
so excited to see your posts this week!! how very fun! i want that bench too, please!
