We Have a Name

Coming up with a girl’s name was easy, then we found out we were having a boy and found ourselves mired in indecision. Previous favorites for our son’s name, due date December 8, were Aether – my favorite, Atlas or Atticus.

House Industries for Herman Miller

I might like the crates these tables are shipped in as much as the tables, nonetheless:

House Industries and Herman Miller are producing a limited edition series of 80 Eames wire-base tables (aka an LTR or Low Table Rod) that include A thru Z, numbers and ornaments from the Eames Century Modern font collection. Forty tables will be available in Hong Kong at the Herman Miller Reach event on September 16, 2011 and 40 will be available at the House Industries exhibition at the Herman Miller Tokyo Showroom on October 27, 2011. Each tabletop is hand-printed by House’s own David Dodde in our Grand Rapids, Michigan factory, returned to Herman Miller for assembly then packaged in a special House Industries-designed wooden crate.
