The Marigold Lodge – an iconic Michigan estate – is home to the finest of Herman Miller’s design collection. In a series of Australian educational insight seminars hosted in Canberra and Auckland called the Marigold Series, design experts have learned a little more about the icon whilst exploring the latest in Herman Miller research.
The Marigold Series took the form of an educational dinner event, inspired by the design philosophy behind the famous Marigold Lodge, where a focus on research and designer excellence have always gone hand in hand.
Inspired by the rich history of the Marigold Lodge, the Marigold Series provided a curated educational dinner and discussion as well as shared Herman Miller’s research and insights into the Unassigned Workplace. The thought provoking series saw organizational leaders and design peers examining the present and future of workplace trends through the lens of Herman Miller and the Marigold Lodge.
Curated by Australian and New Zealand market managers around the key theme of Unassigned Work Environments, the dinner and discussion explored why some employees thrive when others just cope within modern workplaces.
Guests were invited to participate in a series of group activities during the event to learn about how Unassigned Workplace behaviour impacts successful workplace design and planning.
With the Marigold Series Herman Miller’s Australia and New Zealand teams were proud to partner with local dealers Designcraft and Unison to celebrate the spirit of the Marigold Lodge with the design community in Canberra and Auckland
