Herman Miller, Inc., based in Zeeland, Michigan, is an American manufacturer of office furniture and equipment, as well as modern furniture for the home. It is notable as one of the first companies to produce modern furniture, and the manufacturer of the Equa chair, Aeron chair, and Eames Lounge Chair. Herman Miller is credited with the invention of the office cubicle (originally known as the "Action Office") under the vision of then-director of research Bob Propst, in 1968.Herman Miller was not primarily in the office furniture business until the late 1960s, although they produced office furniture since the 1930s. Most of their most famous modern products were produced starting in 1946 and running through the mid-1960s, when they discontinued much of their home furniture lines and focused on the business world. From 1946–1970 - under the direction of George Nelson, Herman Miller produced many of the most iconic classic modern furniture for the home and office. It was during this time that Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and Robert Propst were brought in to feature their furniture designs.
