Herman Miller was founded in 1906 and was originally named the Michigan Star Furniture Company. In 1909 it changed to the Michigan Furniture Company. D.J. Dupree became president of the company in 1919 and his father-in-law, Herman Miller, gave him money to stabilize the company. Therefore D.J. changed the name of the company to Herman Miller. In 1933 the first line of modern furniture was exhibited in Chicago. Designer George Nelson created the Herman Miller logo along with various chairs for the company. Ray and Charles Eames were designers for the company. They designed everything from leg splints to the Solar Powered Do Nothing Machine. Alexander Girard was the firm's textile designer. Max Dupree took over the company. Robert Propst came up with the idea of action office for the company. Bill Stumpf created the most popular chair for the company. The company is located in Zealand, MI and Holland, MI.
