History: 1950 Throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s, the Eames Office designed and installed the interiors and furniture groupings for Herman Miller’s Los Angeles showroom (the building was also an Eames design. The Eameses reorganized the interior spaces of the showroom for each opening—which usually coincided with the introduction of a new item or line of furniture—and incorporated other furniture and fabrics from the Nelson and Girard design offices.
