Now Available: OE1 Workspace Collection
Herman Miller's latest collection of furniture designed for flexibility is now available to order.
What's In a Name?
The OE1 Workspace Collection is a line of optimized essentials for agility. Each product was designed to help people experiment with space, and can be used together to create flexible environments that can easily change as people's needs and activities evolve.
The 1 at the end of the name speaks to the new era of work we find ourselves in, and how this collection is the first Herman Miller has created with this in mind. It's not a furniture system, but a collection of pieces that can be used together or individually, in the work place or a home office.
Additionally, the 1 is a nod to Herman Miller's past, and the creation of the innovative Action Office by George Nelson and Robert Propst, which reimagined office furniture as a system of customizable components. This set of components was expanded upon in the seventies with Action Office II, which revolutionized the way we work with the introduction of open office furniture systems and the cubicle. Similarly, this is just the first OE1 collection, with many iterations and innovative products to come.
Why Now?
Today’s workplaces are faced with unique challenges that have only been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic: increasing their overall agility, making the most of real estate, ensuring new furniture works with existing facilities, and getting the most out of these investments. Until now, products have been designed to address only one or two of these issues at a time.
Organizations are craving a holistic solution that takes on all of these challenges simultaneously and beautifully—and sets them up for success in an uncertain, fast-changing future.
