SUMMARY:MillerKnoll Day Trip - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us this summer for an intimate\, VIP day trip — limited 
 to just 20 guests — and be among the first to experience the new MillerK
 noll Archives\, opening to the public for the very first time. \n\nYour e
 xclusive journey includes: \n\n 	Private\, behind-the-scenes tours of: \
 n\n\n 	\n\n 	The MillerKnoll Archives — the new space on the campus of t
 he company's Design Yard that houses the combined archives of Herman Mille
 r\, Knoll\, and other brands in the collective. \n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	The Tes
 t Lab — where today’s innovations are crafted and refined so they can 
 be passed down to future generations.\n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	The iconic Mainsite

  \n\n\n\n\n 	Round-trip charter bus from Cranbrook Art Museum (luxury veh
 icle with restroom)\n\n\n 	Lunch and snacks provided \n\nLed by MillerKno
 ll Director of Archives and Brand Heritage Amy Auscherman\, Senior Archivi
 st Alexa Hagen\, and Collections Manager Sarah Wood\, you’ll trace the s
 tory of how visionary designers revolutionized interiors\, blending craft 
 and industry to shape the way we live today. \n\nThis is a rare opportuni
 ty to see the new MillerKnoll Archives and the inaugural exhibition Manufa
 cturing Modern. MillerKnoll’s origins trace back to the early 20th-centu
 ry Modernist movement\, which championed purposeful\, innovative\, and acc
 essible design. Visionaries like Florence Knoll\, George Nelson\, Eero Saa
 rinen\, Charles and Ray Eames\, Harry Bertoia\, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe\,
  and Marcel Breuer were deeply influenced by institutions such as the Bauh
 aus\, Cranbrook Academy of Art\, and the Museum of Modern Art. Their groun
 dbreaking philosophies shaped Knoll and Herman Miller’s approach\, blend
 ing craft with industry to redefine interiors and revolutionize furniture 
 production. \n\nThe private tour of  MillerKnoll’s Main Site manufact
 uring facility will give guests an inside look at the manufacturing proces
 ses behind the designs. \n\nParticipants on the tour will meet for coffee
  and pastries at the Art Museum before boarding a luxury shuttle (with onb
 oard restroom). A gourmet lunch and afternoon refreshments are included (m
 enu selections provided in advance of travel). Bridget Bartal\, MillerKnol
 l Curatorial Fellow at Cranbrook Art Museum\, will discuss her research fo
 r the exhibition Eventually Everything Connects: Mid-Century Modern Design
  in the US during the journey to Zeeland.  \n\n (Please note: an NDA is r
 equired to enter test facilities.)
