The Designers of Herman Miller book cover featuring a photo of the company’s office in Zeeland, Michigan.
In order to celebrate the influential design company Herman Miller, I proposed a book that showcases each designer in the context of their contributions. Each chapter would use imagery borrowed from the individual’s work as graphic treatments placed across spreads. This concept is explored in practice using the work of Charles and Rae Eames.
The Eames section of the book begins with a bold wordmark. Each spread in the section features patterns created by Rae Eames. These textile patterns were invaluble to the company’s mid-century modern aesthetic. The patterns weave through the text, break off the page, and multiply into the background, making them an active contrast to the black and white photography featured.
