Design Ward Bennett,

Stately, softly curved, and confident, the Landmark Chair is one of designer Ward Bennett’s most well-known works. This sophisticated, graceful chair represents his ability to reduce a design to its essence—allowing function, craftsmanship, and, ultimately, beauty, to be its focus.
While carved from solid ash hardwood, Landmark is both lightweight and durable. The chair’s classic English form is graciously scaled to the exact proportions drawn by Bennett and features meticulously detailed French upholstery. Landmark’s wide range of upholstery variations offers further versatility and adds style and comfort to both residential and working environments.

Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him. By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with “modern” furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
