Inside the packaged boxes of 'Herman Miller Japan' lay smaller stackable boxes commissioned by the aforementioned company, designed by House Industries. These boxes are replicas of real furniture boxes used to deliver products back in the day. The boxes contain eight basswood children blocks, all fully detailed down to font and color.
'Herman Miller Japan' was able to package all the contents and was even able to replicate the packing tape to ensure its authenticity accuracy. The blocks are available only at the 'Herman Miller Japan' showroom in Tokyo.
