Herman Miller Select Program

seriously? no speculation at all?

The only two pieces of furniture
I can think of that swiveled was the Eames Lounge Chair (which is currently available), and the Nelson Flying Duck chair, which was not a best seller in the first place.
Of course, many of the Eames plastic chairs had the swivel option, but who know what they mean?

Select?
What pieces have come through their Select Program thus far... Just the cowhide LCW?

PAW
My guess would be the PAW, since they're already developing the dowel legs for the American market.
Or, if the price point is going to be astronomical, which the 'select' part would indicate - perhaps a Girard piece? Did any of his chairs swivel?

Here's an idea...
Eames toys!!!

Uggh..tops?
Seriously? Those are the only toys I can think of - sans the Do-Nothing-Machine - that "whirl". But to my knowledge most of the tops in the Eames' collection were found throughout the world - not manufactured. If it IS the tops it's almost as dumb as the Eames' House Bird.

Hey, if it's through Vitra...
Anything is possible!!

Hint: You can give it a whirl....
maybe it'll be the Nelson dining room table with the lazy susan center. Or perhaps they will create a weather vane that whirls in the wind using the Eames bird!

I can't wait for the...
Eames House Tumbleweed, by Charles & Ray Eames for Vitra.

I'm extremely...
I'm extremely disappointed...Announced tonight, a set of 3 spinning solid walnut tops. So bizarre.

dumb. Eames office already sells Eames tops.

who designed these ?
i wasn't aware charles and ray actually designed tops, i thought they just collected them.
and for the record, herman miller promoting the "select" program on facebook is really kind of feeble and sad.

Wow
I was right!

Chewy
You're right. They didn't design them. But they liked them. Just like they didn't design the Eames house Bird. The Eames office just has these tops with little Eames patterns on them and such....
SO when they run out of Eames stuff to sell that they designed they just start selling stuff they like?
Next, there will be the Eames house bucket of chicken. You tear off the breaded skin to reveal the baked-in Eamesian dot pattern on the meat.
