A New Alliance!

Place Makes the Herman Miller Grade!

Place has just been approved for a very exciting Textiles Alliance Program (TAP) with Herman Miller!  Starting this fall, specific Place fabrics have been pre-approved for use on designated Herman Miller pieces.  A stunning example is the iconoclastic Eames compact sofa which was adorned in Veneto Stripe / Vermont in the Herman Miller NEOCON showroom this year!

This alliance is a response on the part of both Herman Miller and Place to address the evolving needs of the market.  For customers looking for a luxurious but durable alternative to the Herman Miller standard offering, Place provides a terrific option.  The Place color palette of sophisticated neutrals and rich, saturated hues is especially complimentary to the Herman Miller legacy of clean lines and bold color.  The Place attitude toward design integrity and quality in upholstery makes this alliance particularly ideal.

At NEOCON Herman Miller introduced a beautiful new series of lounge seating called Swoop designed by Brian Kane of Kane Design Studio in San Francisco.  Pictured here are several of the Swoop pieces including a modular sofa and pull-up lounge chair and ottoman.  Aimed at the office, learning, healthcare and residential environments, these pieces make a strong contribution to the Herman Miller design heritage.  Upholstered in Place fabrics, this highly usable group of seating is especially compelling.  See Balmory, Clare, Hidden Canyon and Genoa put through their paces! An exciting addition to all this was seeing Oasis / Dover on a beautiful new seating group from Nemschoff at the Herman Miller for Health Care showroom – also at NEOCON in Chicago.

Place is very proud to have “made the grade” with a company as prestigious as Herman Miller and looks forward to kicking this program off in the fall.
