Gilbert Rohde and Herman Miller: A Design Legacy Gilbert Rohde (1894–1944) was a visionary designer who played a crucial role in transitioning American furniture design from the ornate styles of the past to the streamlined, functional aesthetic of modernism. He joined Herman Miller in 1931, at a time when the company was struggling financially. Rohde’s innovative designs, which emphasized simplicity, functionality, and the use of new materials, helped reposition Herman Miller as a leader in modern design. Rohde's collaboration with Herman Miller marked a significant turning point in the company’s history. His designs were among the first to embrace modernist principles in America, focusing on clean lines, geometric forms, and the elimination of unnecessary ornamentation. Rohde's influence on Herman Miller laid the groundwork for the company’s future success, paving the way for later collaborations with iconic designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, and George Nelson.
