Invite Boundless Thinking

Create space at the table to dream, push boundaries and allow new ideas to emerge. That’s exactly what we did with the iconic Capelli Stool, now celebrating its 20th anniversary exclusively at Herman Miller and featured in Woman Made: Great Women Designers, by Phaidon Press. The design makes its memorable mark among other leading designers from the early 20th century through today. What are you thinking of? We invite you to join us.
