High Design for Your Home Office




The trend is that more and more of us are choosing to work from home if possible. And when it comes to creating the perfect home office, what are the essentials that you look for? When you break it down, it's all about having the basics - the stuff that you use on a daily basis: desk, chair, storage, good lighting - the most basic office essentials that every home office needs. But how do you take your space BEYOND BASIC? Well, the Lifework Portfolio from Herman Miller is a good place to start - ergonomically-designed, modern yet classic, colorful yet tasteful, Herman Miller's high end line of office basics offer distinctive residential lifework solutions.

It is interesting to know that the term "Lifework" was coined by Herman Miller as a response to the increasing number of activities taking place in the home.







My favourate is Nelson Swag Leg Desk, as well as Swag Leg Armchair (right).
But if you need an office style chair that is suitable for longer working hours at the desk, then Aeron Chair is said to be the Best Selling Office Chair of All Time.


And if you want something special, then you can look at the Leaf personal light - it uses innovative LED technology to bring the human touch to lighting. Designed by Yves Behar Leaf lets individuals manage lighting intensity, color, and on-off functions by simply touching the intuitive controls. Leaf has 20 light emitting diodes (LEDs) for illumination , 10 blue/white chips for cool light, 10 yellow-white chips for warm light, uses 8-9 Watts of energy, boasts
40% less energy use than compact fluorescent bulbs and allows 100,000 hours of use - 8 times the lifespan of conventional bulbs.















Herman Miller's Lifework Portfolio went on to win the 2008 International Contemporary Furniture Fair's (ICFF) Editor's Award for Body of Work.
