Herman Miller in Paris

Last year, Herman Miller opened their new office in Rue Saint Augustine in Paris.  Herman Miller needs no introduction to readers of this blog, as they are at the vanguard of ergonomic office furniture, equipment and home furniture. The company works with contemporary designers of the time which, in the past, have included Charles and Ray Eames and more recently Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick with the now iconic Aeron chair.

This is a beautifully designed and well executed piece of internal communication. To introduce staff to the area and their new community, the design team at Herman Miller created this wonderfully illustrated map which shows the cafes, bars, restaurants and shops in the locality. 
The size of the map is A6 folding out to A3. Below image shows the front...
Folding out to this...
Which then concertina folds out like so...
And the inside reveals this amazing map...

Design is by Tracy Stone and the wonderful illustrations are by Andy Council. It is digitally printed on our Offenbach Bible by Hampton Printing who are based in Bristol.
