A System of Compatible Components
Robert Propst designed Action Office?, the world’s first open-plan office furniture system. When he brought that same thinking to healthcare applications, he
created the model of a coherent system of compatible components designed to efficiently store and transport medical supplies and materials.
Herman Miller Casework follows the Propst blueprint with an offering that includes a series of overhead cabinets, storage cabinets, base units, and work surfaces with backsplashes. Matching finishes and interchangeable components allow our casework system to complement and integrate with our movable modular product offering in virtually any healthcare setting.
Herman Miller’s environmental ethic is reflected in Casework’s durability and use of recyclable materials.

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.
