Calling All Architects & Designers!

Herman Miller is having a 70% off sale on their Eames molded plastic chair collection for qualifying A&D (Architecture & Design) firms. I have lusted after the iconic Eames Molded Plastic Rocker (RAR) for awhile now and just might use this opportunity to get one. I no longer work for an A&D firm, but I have friends whose orders I can piggyback on (wink wink). So basically, I would be getting this chair for $179 rather than $500-ish after tax.

The most important question is, which color? I have been obsessing all evening, and think I will get the “Greystone”. I am not a woman of bold colors. My closet is filled with mostly white, grey and black. It’s just who I am. The “Aqua Sky” is alluring, but I worry I would be making a lifelong commitment to that color which I’m not ready for. I like to keep my staple pieces neutral and mix in color via textiles and other accessories. Then when I get bored, I can change it up for cheap! That’s my money saving design tip for the day — over and out.

To get more information on the Herman Miller sale, contact your local representative. For Richmond, that would be Trip Vint with American Office at (804) 673-8107. He’s super nice and was actually the one who suggested piggybacking on a friend’s order — very cool!
