By Herman Miller, Bruce Burdick
Located in Lafayette, IN
This is a wonderful 1980's vintage "Burdick Group" executive desk by Herman Miller. Bruce Burdick developed this design for Herman Miller as "a workbench for executives... one that is responsive to the way an individual works". The modular design is comprised of a unique assemblage of work surfaces, paper handling and storage elements, and electronic equipment supports, located along a structural armature in whatever configuration best suits the way people work. This piece is arranged in a convenient L shape, but can be rearranged or combined with other units to create the most functional work space for the user. In 1980, the Burdick Group received design awards from the Institute of Business Designers and the Industrial Designers Society of America. The following year, Time magazine named the Burdick Group system one of the Best of 1981 for Industrial Design. The magazine described it as one of the first flexible office furniture systems to come to terms with computer terminals and other electronic office machines. These design features allow this desk to have all of the vintage charm and yet still highly useful in the modern, tech-laden office!
