Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

Let Your True Colours Fly

As a company dedicated to inclusivity and diversity, Herman Miller has released a special Eames Hang-It-All with a colourway inspired by LGBTQ+ Pride.


With a legacy that spans over 100 years, Herman Miller is a company steeped in history. But that doesn’t mean it rests on its laurels. Drawing upon a rich heritage, Herman Miller is constantly looking for ways to improve not just its products, but also how it operates.

Creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable working environment has been front and centre for Herman Miller. It’s an approach that has seen the business be rewarded through several accolades, including a 100 per cent score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index since 2008, as well as earning a perfect score as the ‘Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality’.

As part of this agenda, Herman Miller has released a special edition Eames Hang-It-All with a special twist – the iconic, functional design piece has been reborn in a colourful rainbow palette, inspired by the LGBTQ+ Pride flag.

Herman Miller is a business that sees how it can impact the wider community and is doing what it can to redesign the future. The Eames Pride Hang-It-All is just one example of creating a world where everyone can let their true colours fly, while making a statement about LGBTQ+ equality at home or in the office.

 

“The appreciation of the small objects that are around us every day is what produces an appreciation of art.” – Charles Eames
