As their book Usefulness in Small Things attests, Sam Hecht and Kim Colin take great pleasure in everyday items, and few items are more everyday than the lowly pencil. In providing a place for these analog writing instruments, the designers thoughtfully included a ledge for smaller items too, some certainly digital, such as a memory stick.

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.
