One Kearny / Herman Miller Showroom

After our Interior Finishes and Materials final exam yesterday, we walked over to the Herman Miller showroom at One Kearny and got a little history about the company and a look around their space on the 9th floor. We were also escorted up to the private 11th floor, which is a newly remodeled retreat or conference space rented out by the owner of the building and full of great Herman Miller pieces.

Go Green

Green is nature’s color and represents health and growth.  It also has a calming effect on the human brain– Celebrities waiting to go out to a TV interview often wait in a ‘green room’ to calm nerves, and mint green is the choice for many hospital rooms because of the proven calming effect it has on patients. Personally, I just like this kitchen….and you’re less likely to overeat around the color green, unlike it’s compliment, red, which is very stimulating.

Balanced color and symmetry. Great collection of pieces; well thought out room with real character. It works.

Upcycling is Cool

Old Crates, metal, wood re-purposed into shelving equals feel good furniture.
