Rare Herman Miller Action Office Standing Desk and Drawing Table, 1960s
By Robert Propst, Herman Miller
Located in Aramits, Nouvelle-Aquitaine
A rare and hard to find Herman Miller - Action Office standing desk and drawing table, circa 1960s.
Large working surface, which can be tilted into any max 90-degree angle position with two large corrugated knobs to fix the top in its position, aluminum base with footrest, wired for electrical equipment like a lamp etc. The working top has an aluminum edge.
The aluminum has some tarnish, there are some scratches to the wooden middle part and on each side of the tabletop are two very tiny holes, probably from some equipment which was fixed there, please refer to the photos. These are all minor flaws that can be redone easily.
Given the fact that this a pretty rare table and hard to find Herman Miller table, we would consider the condition between good and very good.
Once a graphic artist and sculptor, Robert Propst became president of Herman Miller Research Corporation in 1960. His goal was to investigate how the world of work operated, and he concluded, sadly, that “today’s office is a wasteland. It saps vitality, blocks talent, frustrates accomplishment. It is the daily scene of unfulfilled intentions and failed effort.” In his landmark book The Office: A Facility Based on Change, he wrote, “We find ourselves now with office forms created for a way of life substantially dead and gone.”
Propst’s answer to this unhappy situation was the Action Office system, introduced by Herman Miller in 1968. It was the world’s first open-plan office system—a bold departure from the fixed assumptions of what office furniture should be. With Action Office, Propst created a workspace solution that fit the way people really worked. Action Office was designed as a set of components that could be combined and recombined to become whatever an office needed to be over time. Designer Jack Kelley...
