Herman Miller and John Pawson join forces on a minimalist seating collection that distills furniture down to its purest form. The collaboration emphasizes simplicity, proportion, and honest materiality—hallmarks of Pawson’s architectural language. Comprised of a lounge chair, sofa, and bench, each piece strips away unnecessary detail while preserving ergonomic integrity.
The collection is a study in restraint. Crafted with solid oak frames and natural wool-blend upholstery, the pieces feature refined joinery, low profiles, and precise lines. Pawson’s goal was to create furniture that brings “a sense of quiet” into a room without sacrificing warmth or usability. Designed for both residential and contract settings, the collection merges Herman Miller’s craftsmanship with Pawson’s commitment to architectural clarity. It’s a meditation on space, silence, and the understated power of simplicity—where every angle, seam, and surface is intentional.
