This book is a fantastic read and doubles as a fabulous coffee table book. It’s a must-have for any mid-century modern admirer or collector. It is a serious deep-dive, with over 600 pages on the history of the famed Herman Miller company. Complete with plenty of information as well as many photos, I highly recommend picking up this book. You won’t be disappointed.

A great background on the history of Herman Miller, from the early days to taking chances on unproven designers that gave us some of the most iconic furniture ever made.
