CAPER chairs and Avio tables, which were featured in Steven Spielberg's sci-fi blockbuster AI, are not the only products of US-based Herman Miller that have had a brush with showbiz. Several of Herman Miller's products have been featured in television shows such as: The Drew Carey Show, Frazier, Just Shoot Me, Will and Grace, CSI, CSI: Miami, The Agency, West Wing, and the broadcast news sets for CNN and MSNBC.
Since its establishment in 1923, Herman Miller has been creating great places to work. In 1969, the company established manufacturing facilities in Europe and now has representatives worldwide.
Recently, the company appointed H2O Concepts as its new dealer in Dubai and the Northern Emirates in the UAE.
Herman Miller dealers offer a range of services from space planning to installation to total furniture management.
Herman Miller researches, designs, manufactures and distributes innovative office furniture, supporting the work of companies and individuals all over the world.
Whether the need is for an open-plan environment that uses a panel system to bring power and data from perimeter; or for conventional freestanding desking or for mobile reconfigurable elements, the company says it has the experience in all of them.
People are keen on driving brand name cars, which may not be fuel-efficient; they pay extra for a posturepedic mattress to have a good night sleep and they do all these things with their own money, says chief operating officer of H2O Concepts Vahe Tuysuzian. Although people spend more time in their office chair than on their posturepedic mattress, not many understand the importance of investing their money on quality office furniture. By creating pleasant working environments which take into account employee comfort, convenience and self-esteem employee performance will increase tenfold and the company will gain the benefits of well-planned cost-effective products that stand the test of time.
Spielberg is not alone in appreciating the quality of Herman Miller's products. The New York Museum of Modern Art recently placed the Resolve system in its permanent collection. Even more impressive is the fact that Resolve is the first and only office furniture system to be so honoured, says the company, adding that it is the 38th Herman Miller product selected for this prestigious collection.
Herman Miller and H2O concepts also offer the option of having company logos woven into the Pellicle or the Aeron chairs.
When corporations are paying premium rents in prestigious building where construction materials used are of the highest standards, they do so to make a statement about their own standards of service, quality and self-esteem, Tuyzuzian says. H2O Concepts is here to make sure that the same standards of brand recognition, quality finish and self-esteem are carried through from the home environment to the office location into the office interior settings.
H2O Concepts and Herman Miller are well equipped and ready to be a major player in reshaping the Dubai office environment with a complete portfolio of case goods seating and system furniture supported with a qualified team of designers architects and space planners, he adds.
