Wooden blocks by House Industries for Herman Miller Japan

Previous1 of 2Next

After working with the Girard estate and the Eames Foundation, Herman Miller was the next logical partnership for House Industries. Their latest project is a set of wooden blocks printed with familiar House letters, shapes and numbers as well as vintage Herman Miller graphics. The beauty not only lies in the blocks themselves but in the packaging. Wrapped in a corrugated box that resemble the same packaging that Herman Miller shipped its furniture in and secured and sealed with miniature brown kraft packing tape. Best part of it all is that it was made in Grand Rapids, MI., thirty miles west of Herman Miller’s HQ of Zeeland. Worst part? It’s only available in Tokyo, though we’re willing to bet that some will make its way into the U.S.
