In 1964, Herman Miller introduced the world's first open-plan office system called the Action Office system. It revolutionized office layout, design and the way people work.

Herman Miller's products are designed to meet the needs of people who work in all kinds of offices. Herman Miller products last, work together and allow people to be more productive.

Today, a significant number of U.S. businesses use open-plan offices, and Herman Miller has one of the largest installed bases in the industry with over $6 billion worth of systems furniture. Talk about a good idea.

Herman Miller AO 1®

The Herman Miller Action Office system was the result of many years of research carried out by the Herman Miller company in the 1960's - the first panel-based office furniture system in the world. Productivity was paramount, the focus on integrating people, technology, and changing work processes.

Herman Miller AO2®

Introduced around 1988 the Herman Miller Action Office 2 system was a culmination of 30 years of research and practical market experience. The result are panels that carry increased energy and cable load for ever expanding high tech demands. Herman Miller Action Office 2 remains true to the fundamental principles of the Action Office series.

Herman Miller Action Office 2 is reconfigurable with components designed to respond to inevitable changes in the workplace. Panels, work surfaces, and hanging storage units combine for a strategic balance. The system limits the number of components to the most basic and versatile, simplifying ordering, installation, and inventory storage.

Herman Miller Ethospace®

By redefining the basic concepts of office architecture, Herman Miller Ethospace systems achieve aesthetic and functional flexibility beyond conventional office systems.

The inherent flexibility of Herman Miller Ethospace systems translates into a smart investment, especially for companies caught in the rapid and ever changing growth of the global economy in this age of information.

Herman Miller Ethospace and its steel frame design serve two primary purposes. Aesthetic and structural. Fabric covered tiles provide the "look", with an easy replacement option. Exceptional support from its steel framework provides work surfaces and other accessories adjustability and dependability.
