Darrel - Herman Miller
Herman Miller is a furniture company that began in 1906 with the name of Michigan Star Furniture. The company focused on manufacturing residential furniture pieces in a Victorian and gaudy style. These pieces were cheap to medium priced. At 18 years old, DJ Depree took out a loan, bought the company and renamed the company, Herman Miller, after his father in law, When sales began to decline, DJ realized he needed to update his products so he consulted with a modern furniture designer and later hired George Nelson who created modern pieces and helped to bring sales back up. However, it was Charles and Ray Eames who developed furniture that really rose Herman Miller to the top. They now sold unique furniture that was ergonomic and many other manufacturers copied these designs so they conceal a stamp or medallion to represent that it is real.
