Driven by complementary problem-solving philosophies, the research, insights, and products of MillerKnoll are on display and ready to help customers solve relevant questions around the future of work and home.

"We are excited to bring the brands in the MillerKnoll collective together with special events for our dealers, customers, and design partners," said MillerKnoll Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Tim Straker.

The company will host events and exhibits throughout Design Days to debut products, provide engaging programs, and inspire the design community and its clients. Highlights include:

In addition, Knoll will showcase enhancements to Antenna Workspaces, which captures the energy of people coming together with the best technology, furniture, and spaces for their work.

KnollTextiles is celebrating its 75th anniversary by introducing The Heritage Collection: eight archive-inspired textiles that continue to evolve the modernist tradition by combining the best archival design with next-generation technology. KnollTextiles will preview the collection along with an exhibit of corresponding archival fabrics and a display of its performance-oriented Focus and Pattern Play Collections.

Muuto is sharing their latest perspectives on Scandinavian design and presenting a series of new designs for the evolving needs of the modern workspace, hospitality settings, and educational institutions, including the new Linear System Series, a new Linear Steel Outdoor Chair, and the Connect Soft Modular Sofa. In addition, Muuto is previewing some of their fall designs: The Oslo Lounge Chair, the Fiber Conference Chair, and the Sketch Toolbox made with 91% recycled plastic for a nomadic work life.

Herman Miller is launching an office chair with celebrated design team Studio 7.5. It is the newest seating collaboration between Herman Miller and Studio 7.5 since the groundbreaking Cosm Chair. In addition, Herman Miller will showcase the re-issue of the Nelson Cube sofa and offer a pop-up exhibit, "Herman Miller: A Way of Living," which features the brand's unique point-of-view brought to life with objects curated from its vast archives.

Maharam will preview over twenty new and upcoming textiles from the Maharam Design Studio, Scholten & Baijings, Paul Smith, and their newest collaborator, Bertjan Pot. The textiles will be presented on the architectural installation Frame Structures designed by longtime Maharam collaborator Neil Logan.

Geiger is launching a revolutionary, leather wrap sit-to-stand desk. With an elegant design and four rising legs, this desk includes drawers lined with beautiful wool from FilzFelt.

In addition, Geiger is expanding its leading case goods collection with additional solutions for executive offices, meeting, and huddle rooms.

naughtone will debut a collection of new modern furniture pieces, each positioned to be simply familiar and fundamentally versatile. From the playful colors of the Penny Stool to the curving lines of the Sweep Table, to the wide lineup of tables in the Tier Collection, the team is excited to show the latest product endeavors moving the brand closer towards sustainable circularity.
