Living Office

When your people succeed, so does your business.

People are the most critical asset to every organisation. So why aren’t more offices designed to support their needs and activities? With Living Office, Herman Miller brings humanity back to the workplace to help your people, and your business, succeed.

Providing a Better Work Experience

The offices many people work in today were designed to support processes and technology from another era. We see the potential for a new kind of office, one designed around the latest understanding of people, the work they are doing now, and the tools they need to succeed. This is a place where people will work not because they have to, but because they want to.

Everybody’s human

Through research, Herman Miller identified six fundamental needs that all people share: security, autonomy, belonging, achievement, status and purpose. Living Office is designed to harness our innate motivations to fulfil these needs; it's a place where every element feels right.

Everybody’s different

By recognising that individuals and organisations have their own unique purpose, character and activities, Living Office transforms the workplace into a powerful instrument that expresses an organisation's unique culture and furthers its unique ambitions.

Good for people, great for business

Living Office transforms places into business assets by helping people work better. See how this happened for Harry’s, a men’s grooming company.
