Girard s work led me to find out more about Herman Miller, a company known for its efforts to mass-produce and market modern, functional furniture. I discovered that the research it conducted on the ways people work in an office led to the creation of open-plan, modular, and interchangeable modern office designs. Researching ergonomics helped it to explore ways to help aging or disabled people live independently longer. Even the posters for its annual employee picnics are collectible pieces of art.

Herman Miller is also synonymous with the Eames Chair, designed by Charles Eames and his wife, Ray, who met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. The comfortable, molded, form-fitting, stackable, prize-winning, mass-produced, low-cost chair got its start in the 1940s and continues to attract buyers today.

Variations of Lounge Chairs

Over time, the lounge chair evolved from exposure to various cultures for specific and artistic needs. Bruno Mathsson of Sweden introduced the “Pernilla” lounge chair, made from beech, in 1934. Commissioned in 1956 by the Herman Miller furniture company, designers Charles and Ray Eames brought comfort to high-end furniture, a novel thought at the time. The Eames Lounge & Ottoman incorporated molded plywood and leather. Modern construction trends toward foam rubber and outdoor applications.

Armchair: quite simply a comfortable, usually upholstered, chair with arms (2 Piece Library Dark Oak Upholstered Armchair Ottoman Set).

Wing Chair: a tall-backed, tremendously upholstered armchair with wings, or lugs, that guard the sitter s back from drafts. Wing chairs are also called grandfather or saddle cheek chairs. Native to the 17^th Century, the wings were originally called “cheeks” and continued to be popular among furniture designers and revivalists throughout history (Warm Brown/Striped Rococo Wing Arm Chair).

Top four design classic chairs

Setting out to compile the most popular classic chair designs is not as easy as you might think. Search for furniture design classics, and you will find a large number of armchairs, lounge chairs, dining chairs and chaise longues competing for iconic or legendary status.

There is no shortage of interior designers, manufacturers or devotees of good design out there banging the drum for their favourite piece, but there were four chairs that stood out for me in particular. Granted, there are a great many design classics from the 20th Century but the amount of discussion (and imitations) of these four pieces suggests that they stand above the others.

I did love to hear about which pieces are your own favourites, perhaps I have missed a key piece? Or, alternatively, do we focus too much on the design classics of the past?

Furniture Maker Herman Miller Claims Trademark Infringement

Furniture maker Herman Miller, Inc. has sued furniture company Modernica Inc. for allegedly infringing Herman Miller s trademarks.

Herman Miller accused Modernica of infringing its design trademarks for “Eames” and “M” and for false advertising, breach of contract, and violating the publicity rights of the late designer Charles Eames.

Charles Eames and his wife Ray Eames were American designers associated with a style now known as “mid-century modern.”  Their work was popular and widely copied.

The Eameses furniture designs are considered pioneering for their use of molded plywood, fiberglass and plastic resin, and wire mesh. They designed chairs for Herman Miller starting in the 1940s.

Herman Miller has been using the Eames trademark since at least 1951, according to the plaintiff s complaint. The US Patent and Trademark office issued a federal trademark for the Eames name to Herman Miller in 1982.

The complaint charges that Modernica sells imitation Eames products, including chairs, and uses the “Eames” mark to sell these products.  The complaint also charges that Modernica uses the names and photos of Charles and Ray Eames to sell its chairs.
