Field Trips Knoll - Herman Miller - Larsen
Knoll
exists for 75 years and its durability and popularity is due to their devotion in
research to enhance interior design products. Hans Knoll created the company in 1938, settled in England but he moved quickly to New York in 1937. And in 1943, his association with the designer Florence Schust (whom he married afterwards) skyrocketed the company’s business. They prospered in the design industry although Hans died in 1955. Their collaboration with the most famous designers and architects empowered them a worldwide success.

Florence Knoll, Settee, 1954.
Eero Saarinen, Side table, 1957.
Innovating both for residential and office spaces, modernity combined with functionality and sustainability is their key to good designs. While visiting the showroom in San Francisco, we seen current work of the architect and designer David Adjaye, whom design reflect his African background; he created furnitures and textiles for Knoll.
Filzfelt stands for Knoll’s felt products collection. Wholly made out of high quality wool, felt is used as multi-purpose material and varies in colors and thicknesses. The photograph on the right shows a wall covering continuing as a seating made with felt; the result is original and touch friendly. Knoll’s design is eco-aware. Either in the manufacturing process, material choice or the recycling, Knoll is committed to produce durable and sustainable designs.

Herman Miller
, previously called
Michigan Star Furniture Company was founded by D.J. De Pree in 1923 with the help of his father-in-law, Herman Miller. The company used to design residential furniture for middle class people; and, they kept creating furniture for residential purpose, yet they have become renowned and popular for office furnitures and interiors.
Numerous well-known designers worked in collaboration with Herman Miller and contributed in creating new and iconic designs for the company. Charles and Ray Eames, famous designers created timeless chairs.

Metaform Portfolio is the name of this movable piece of furniture designed by Studio 7.5. Presented during our visit of the Herman Miller showroom; we have seen that it provides light privacy and storage at the same time. The material used is both very light and sturdy to allow an easy displacement but also to maintain what it is containing and be durable. Herman Miller’s design takes environmental concerns into account. Their protocol of manufacture for each furniture is very strict and they use a certain percentage of recycled material to build their new designs; knowing that green and durable design is timeless.
Larsen

Project 3 Sungevity
is a solar electricity company that provides green energy. Based in Oakland and Kansas, the company is developing since 2007 as the solar business is rapidly growing.
Specialized in solar panels, they aim to provide affordable and green solutions to supply energy. They assess their client’s house to solar installations, set up the panels, if the site is suitable, and provide a mobile application to control the building’s energy consumption.
Sungevity is growing like tech companies (having 80 developers); they focus on their employees well-being and the home-like office space to promote a healthy environment. Their number of employees is becoming bigger and; therefore, they need to manage their current workspace to make it more effective, productive and pleasant.
Recyclable: A material that can be used again.
Green: A material that has at least one positive environmental characteristic.
Environmentally friendly design
Sustainable: A material that meets the needs of the present without compromising those of future generations.
Re-Inventing Workspace Arranging a multi-functional and friendly working environment for Sungevity employees in order to build a productive company.
