Living Office helps people customise their methods, tools, and places of work to express and enable shared character and purpose. It is based on what is fundamental to all humans and evolves continuously in response to change. It is a more natural and desirable workplace that fosters greater connection, creativity, productivity, and, ultimately, greater prosperity for all. Herman Miller Locale Š 2014 Herman Miller, Inc.
