Environmental Product Summary
Canvas Office Landscape
Design Story: Simple, Responsive, Comprehensive
At Herman Miller, we invented systems furniture. So it’s
not surprising we are leading the way to a simpler, more
responsive, and more comprehensive way to create
interiors. Canvas Office Landscape, conceived with
designers Jeffrey Bernett and Nicholas Dodziuk and
built upon the designs of Doug Ball and Joey Ruiter,
creates a broad range of work environments for
individuals, groups, and entire organizations.
Canvas has a simple set of elements that combine to
vary the features of the office topography. No matter
which elements are chosen, they link in a holistic way,
so there is balance among the elements that enliven
spaces. Thus, Canvas can be used to express an
organization’s perspective. In doing so, Canvas always
keeps people in the foreground, giving them choices
about where and how to work, variety in the types of
spaces available, and ways to further the human
connections that lead to new ideas.
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
™
Filing and Storage Wood
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?
Material Content
Canvas filing and storage wood components are
constructed from steel, cement, wood, plastic, and
other materials.
