During the design process for Locale, Hecht and Colin drew on their own office for inspiration—a highly efficient space that accommodates different work styles and behaves like an energetic international neighborhood. The design was also informed by the idea of a thriving English high street, which serves the community and the broader city by simply arranging a variety of local activities and services in close proximity. Herman Miller’s Design Protocol Our commitment to corporate sustainability naturally includes minimizing the environmental impact of each of our products. Our Design for Environment team (DfE) applies environmentally sensitive design standards to both new and existing Herman Miller products. The DfE Design Protocol goes beyond regulatory compliance to thoroughly evaluate new product designs in four key areas: • Material Chemistry and Safety of Inputs— What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and are they the safest available? • Disassembly—Can we take products apart at the end of their useful life, to recycle their materials? • Recyclability—Do the materials contain recycled content, and more importantly, can the materials be recycled at the end of the product’s useful life? • LCA—Have we optimized the product based on the entire life cycle? GREENGUARD Certified Locale has achieved GREENGUARD certification. GREENGUARD Certified products are certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage.
