2019.8.16. Herman Miller

Herman Miller archivist, Amy Auscherman, spoke about managing a collection spanning Herman Miller’s 100 year history and the company’s role in helping to define mid-century modernism through their collaborations with some of the greatest designers of our time, including Charles and Ray Eames, Irving Harper, Isamu Noguchi, Tomoko Miho, Alexander Girard, and Deborah Sussman.

The lecture was followed by a conversation between Amy and Llisa Demetrios, Registrar of the Eames Collection and Granddaughter of Charles & Ray Eames.

I really liked Llisa Demetrois. She's unassuming, practical, seems easy going.
