Minimalist Patio Furniture

The Herman Miller 2012 Outdoor Collection Withstands the Elements

— May 3, 2012 — Art & Design
Patio weather is almost here from those residing in the Northern hemisphere and that might mean upgrading that outdoor furniture for some; if so, a good starting place would be with the Herman Miller 2012 Outdoor Collection. A simple set at first glance, the heavyweight name is all that is needed to encourage people dig a little deeper.

The minimalist aesthetic of the Herman Miller 2012 Outdoor Collection allows it to easily fit into any existing home decor without distracting people from the beauty of their backyard. The true selling point of this furniture line is that is has been specifically designed to withstand the elements. Inspired by the original 1958 Eames Aluminum Group Lounge Chair, the tables and chairs are available in a white or charcoal black finish.
