HERMAN MILLER ADDS EIGHT GEIGER WOOD VENEERS TO PRODUCT LINES
Integration of High-Quality Geiger Products Supports
High-Performance Work Environments

Herman Miller, Inc., a leading global provider of innovative office furniture and workplace consulting services, today introduced eight Geiger veneer finishes into its product offering.

The finishes will be available across the company's Herman Miller, Meridian, and Geiger branded product lines, and are designed to present a consistent, company-wide, veneer offering that supports the creation of beautiful, high-performance work environments.

"Herman Miller has adopted the standards and processes that have established Geiger's worldwide reputation for high-quality wood products," said Bill Ehmann, senior product manager at Herman Miller. "These veneer enhancements integrate beautifully with our Textile Alliance Program fabrics and new metallic paint finish options, and further strengthen Herman Miller's overall CMF (colours, materials, finishes) offering."

The eight available veneer finishes include Geiger Natural Maple, Geiger Light Anigre, Geiger Red Cherry, and Geiger Medium Brown Walnut. Geiger is well known for its high-quality wood furnishings including casegoods, freestanding furniture, and seating. Herman Miller acquired the wood specialty company in 1999, following a long-standing sales and marketing alliance.

In addition to their aesthetic value, the Geiger veneers offer improved compatibility between all Herman Miller systems and freestanding products, while promoting a more effective blending of these products within varied business environments, from open plan to private office. "The new Geiger veneers enrich Herman Miller's product offering, while making product specification and integration easier for customers," Ehmann said.

The Geiger veneers will be available for order commencing July 1, 2002. Further information is available thorough Herman Miller dealers.
