	title of this thread your message LRF et. al., I fully understand why you'd defer to Luc. I can see that he's quite knowledgeable, and I have no history in this forum. So let me digress a bit to introduce myself. I've lived the majority of my life within 5 miles of both Herman Miller and Howard Miller, and consequently, grew up surrounded by the furniture, clocks, and Herman/Howard Miller employees. I've been collecting for about 20 years. I've also done a fair amount of dealing, although I've mostly weaned myself from that addiction. (Nothing like 200 fiberglass chairs showing up in the basement to test a wife's patience.) Dealing doesn't automatically make one an expert, but it forces you to continually discuss and discover the details and variances of the products. It also means that you get to own / touch / study hundreds of original examples. Many my friends, family members and professional colleagues have worked for, or continue to work for Herman Miller. Most of them are design professionals, and a few of them worked directly with George Nelson. I am an industrial designer, and have personally done work for Herman Miller, as well as a few of their suppliers, albeit many years after Nelson's tenure. It occasionally affords me an inside look at Herman Miller product, history, sourcing, etc. Anyway... I hope that my ham-fisted intrusion into the Forum is taken in good spirit, and look forward to further spirited discussion. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
