Herman Miller x House Industries: Limited Edition Eames Low Table Rod
Posted in: Uncategorized
MCM fans are certainly already clamoring over House Industries’ recent collaboration with Herman Miller Asia-Pacific, a custom Eames Low Table Rod (LTR), unveiled at Herman Miller’s Reach exhibition in Hong Kong on September 16. A total of 80 tables have been produced by Herman Miller; each tabletop is hand-printed—with letters, numbers and ornaments from the Eames Century Modern font collection—at House Industries’ factory in Grand Rapids, Michigan, then “returned to Herman Miller for assembly then packaged in a special House Industries-designed wooden crate.”
Suffice it to say that the tables themselves are absolutely gorgeous, as is the packaging, which was treated with equal consideration:
As with most House Industries projects, we tried our best to make the packaging for this limited edition something you wouldn’t throw away once the table was removed. Who doesn’t like a printed wooden crate that can do double duty as a storage container?
They’re rather more classic looking than Alessandro Canepa and Andrea Paulicelli’s “Fontables,” a Mid-Century Modern mash-up for those of you who aren’t over it.
