vitra chairs

Herman Miller was a businessman from West Michigan, who helped D.J. De Pree, his son-in-law, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. The Michigan Star Furniture company would eventually become the world-renowned brand, Herman Miller. By the 1950s, the name was widely known as a market leader, an innovator, and still is today. With manufacturing facilities in the United States, China, Italy, and the UK, Herman Miller chairs can be found in over a hundred countries.

A known and trusted brand since 1937, Vitra was originally founded by the entrepreneur, Willi Fehlbaum, and is now managed by his granddaughter, Nora. Vitra furniture designs are some of the most recognisable home and office furniture pieces ever, and they are licensed producers of highly revered Herman Miller, and Charles & Ray Eames furniture. Let’s look at some of their most iconic designs from over the years.
