The Herman Miller furniture lines from 1948 and 1952 have been called the most influential groups of furniture ever manufactured. This original catalog shows these pieces in beautiful, sharp detail. No disrespect to the reprints out there, but this catalog leaves the reprints in the dust-- from the binder tabs, to the halftone sharpness to the spot-color separations usually ignored. This is the real deal, and a rare opportunity to own a copy of the original catalog in its original state.
