The Enchord Table for Herman Miller was designed to combine the needs of home life with working. The table has two tabletops - primary and secondary surfaces, one beneath the other. The gap between them is used to store laptops, papers, other equipment and also a mass of cords and cabling. The lower surface helps keep the top surface clutter free, supporting peripherals and extending beyond the top surface by 12 inches on either side, forming a side or centered table. This simple yet seemingly obvious solution allows the table to be used for a range of tasks. It also mixes up the materials of the home and office, combining oak with steel and die-cast aluminium.

Wireframe is a thoughtful and contemporary addition to Herman Millers recently relaunched ‘Collection’ series of furniture. It uses a structure made from metal wire to hold its soft and contoured cushions. Wired frames have a long heritage at Herman Miller, because they have the ability to create large structures that are light to move and strong in all directions. A versatile sofa was to be created, that is soft in appearance and where cushions were held in place by its structure. The wired frame allows it to be half the weight of a typical sofa, making movement, transportation and adjustment simple and relevant to today’s transient lives. It also means a smaller and less wasteful package to arrive to the customer.
There is a separation of upholstery and structure, allowing for easy maintenance that continues the legacy of lifetime repair and care that Herman Miller has pioneered. During the development of the project Industrial Facility had the opportunity to employ in the sofa structure a suspension technology called the ‘super-seat’, where a stretched molding creates a trampoline effect. It was previously used in the Nala Harmonic Tilt medical chair. The technology provides Wireframe with specific comfort, softness and support across its length.
Wireframe is available in one, two and three seater versions.
