Herman Miller and Stine Aas Launch Land Table and Storage Collection
Herman Miller and Stine Aas Introduce the Land Table and Storage Collection
In an exciting collaboration, Herman Miller has teamed up with renowned designer Stine Aas to unveil the Land Collection. This striking array of furniture includes a dining table, credenza, and console, all reflecting Aas' deep-rooted Norwegian heritage and the serene beauty of the landscapes that inspire her work.
Craftsmanship and Design
The collection is marked by its emphasis on craftsmanship, combining modern design elements with traditional construction techniques. Each piece is made from oversized, heirloom-quality timber, ensuring durability and a lasting presence in any home. The dining table is available in three lengths (75, 99, and 126 inches), accommodating various dining spaces and styles.
Aas has infused her background in both spatial and furniture design into the Land Collection, creating pieces that embody clean lines and architectural precision while showcasing the natural character of the wood. The result is furniture that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, offering a sense of sturdiness combined with elegance.
Emotional Connection and Functionality
Stine Aas emphasizes the importance of the emotional resonance of furniture: “The Land Collection is for family and friends to gather around and to be a centerpiece in somebody's life and somebody's home.” This statement highlights her goal of creating pieces that foster connection and encourage storytelling within the spaces they inhabit.
Alongside the dining table, the credenza serves multiple purposes. Available in widths of 66 and 85 inches, it provides ample storage while also acting as a stylish display unit for decorative objects. Its functionality extends to the hidden storage for platters, glassware, and other household items, making it a versatile choice for dining or living spaces. The console, at 48 inches wide, offers a thinner profile, making it a perfect addition to hallways or entryways.
Commitment to Sustainability
A key aspect of the Land Collection is its commitment to sustainable practices. All timber used in the collection is sourced from North American hardwood forests located within 350 miles of the manufacturing site, significantly minimizing transportation emissions and material waste. This approach aligns perfectly with Aas' vision of designing for honesty and responsibility.
“I believe design should embody honesty—in its process, materials, and in creating work that feels intuitive,” Aas states, reinforcing the notion that furniture should last for generations, serving both functional and emotional needs.
Availability
The Land Collection is now available for purchase through Herman Miller's online store and physical locations, as well as through MillerKnoll dealers for contract clients. The pieces can be ordered in two exquisite finishes: white oak and umber-stained oak.
With its blend of modern aesthetic, impeccable craftsmanship, and sustainable practices, the Land Collection stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Herman Miller and the creative vision of Stine Aas. Whether you are looking to transform your dining area or simply to add a touch of elegance to your living space, this collection promises to deliver beauty, functionality, and emotional resonance for years to come.
