Making Benching Better
Drawing on our long history of furniture development,
we engaged Tim Wallace, designer of Abak Environments
and Atlas Office Landscape, to propose a bench design more
in keeping with today’s values. Wallace, along with Herman
Miller’s development team, studied typical bench structure
and found that many aspects of conventional systems didn’t
match user requirements. Benches sometimes need to offer
more than just ‘one size fits all’ and do so without cost heavy,
complex link mechanisms. By replacing the conventional
beam and understructure with a simple panel and carefully
engineered leg supports, Memo offers new functionality
without sacrificing simplicity.
Combine Memo benches and Atlas Office Landscape storage in a clubhouse setting to create a varied team landscape.
