Lines, Grid & Blocks

Herman Miller and Maharam present “Lines, Grid & Blocks”, an immersive environmental installation by Dutch design duo Scholten & Baijings. The designers will employ Blocks and Grid - their new woven textiles created in collaboration with Maharam – to transform select furniture pieces from the Herman Miller Collection. The Wireframe Sofa by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, Brabo Club Chair by Vincent Van Duysen, Tuxedo Bench by BassamFellows, and a selection of classic Ward Bennett seating collectively will demonstrate how the textiles’ 838 cm long repeats allow for unique characteristics to emerge with each application. Floor-to-ceiling panels will offer visitors an opportunity to observe the fabrics’ expansive repeats in full. Complementing the range of Herman Miller Collection tables will be a curated selection of Scholten & Baijings-designed tabletop items from their personal collection. Finally, Lines by Scholten & Baijings for Maharam Digital Projects will complete the immersive installation. The project will be on view at Herman Miller’s Milan showroom from 14-19 April, 2015.
