Herman Miller, Magis and Vastu
Meaning “more than” in Latin, Magis has been in business since the 70s. Since the beginning, Magis has taken an approach to furniture design and manufacturing much like Herman Miller. By taking leading edge technology, the industrial process and new materials, both Magis and Herman Miller create beautiful furniture that while using less energy to do so.
In June of this year, Herman Miller announced that it would become the exclusive distributor of Magis products in the US and Canada. And as an authorized Herman Miller retailer, we’re proud to announce that now you can also buy incredible Magis designs from us!

The Great Outdoors: The Ivy Collection
Last week we blogged about Emu’s new Heaven collection. Today we’d like to share another new introduction from Emu - the Ivy Collection. Designed by Paola Navone, this collection is inspired by the art of topiary. The goal was to create “furniture sculptures”, light and minimal, that expose the versatility of metal.
